A complete, age-specific approach

FitKidz is built on a structured and evidence-informed approach to movement that supports children’s development at every stage of childhood. Rather than focusing on early specialisation or performance, our method prioritises versatile movement, enjoyment, and long-term engagement in an active lifestyle.

A Broad Foundation Through Movement

At the heart of the FitKidz method lies the belief that children benefit most from experiencing many different forms of movement. Using the Wheel of 10 (Schijf van 10), children develop a broad motor foundation by exploring ten fundamental movement forms such as running, jumping, balancing, throwing, and fighting forms.

This approach helps children to:

• move with confidence and control,
• adapt easily to new sports and activities,
• reduce the risk of overuse injuries and early drop-out,
• build a positive relationship with physical activity.

Fun, Variety and Motivation

To keep children engaged and motivated, FitKidz works with rotating programmes. Every ten weeks, a new activity programme is introduced, offering fresh challenges and experiences. This variety prevents monotony and encourages children to remain curious, active, and enthusiastic.

Enjoyment is always the starting point, because children who have fun while moving are more likely to stay active throughout their lives.

Growing With the Child

FitKidz offers age-specific programmes that align with children’s physical, cognitive, and social development.

0–4 years | FitClub

• Playful exploration of movement
• Focus on gross motor skills and body awareness
• Learning through play, repetition, and discovery

4–7 years | FitClub

• Broad motor development through varied activities
• Introduction to games, sports, and movement concepts
• Building confidence, coordination, and adaptability

7–13 years | FitClub + Sports Programme

• Continued focus on versatile movement
• Deeper exploration of different sports
• Opportunities for both broad participation and skill development

This gradual and well-balanced progression ensures that every child can develop at their own pace, without pressure to specialise too early.

Supporting Public Health Goals

FitKidz aligns closely with the objectives of municipalities and public health organisations, including:

• preventive health policy,
• reducing long-term healthcare costs,
• promoting healthy lifestyles,
• strengthening community wellbeing.

By investing in early, structured prevention, public institutions create measurable impact both now and in the future.

FitKidz proves that early prevention is not only necessary, but effective.

Quality and Professional Guidance

All FitKidz programmes are delivered by trained movement professionals who understand child development and know how to create safe, inclusive, and motivating learning environments. Activities take place in multifunctional sports spaces and, where possible, in collaboration with local sports partners.

Movement for Life

The ultimate goal of the FitKidz method is not to create elite athletes, but to help children become confident, versatile movers who enjoy being active now and in the future.
