Co-Dex Kids

Co-Dex Kids is an innovative physical education programme for Irish children aged 3 – 11 years old. The programme helps children to achieve their physical potential, with a strong emphasis on fun. The programme is run by a dedicated team of PE professionals.

The Co-Dex programme focuses on developing children’s athletic ability through the learning of the ABC’s of sport in an environment of positive teaching and creative teaching styles. The programme develops motor skills through ball work, sports skills, gymnastics and “play”. These are all taught in a fun, safe and nurturing environment. Children are encouraged to develop at their own pace, building their self esteem and confidence. Co-Dex Kids can help to develop a child’s sporting ability in a fun, challenging yet safe environment.

Co-Dex Kids have been involved with:

bulletKildare Place School, Rathmines
bulletSt Laurence O'Tooles School, Northwall

Learning basic and advanced motor skills can help children to enjoy sport. Regular physical activity is essential for good health. Worryingly, most Irish children do not get enough exercise. Many studies also link regular physical activity with improved academic grades.
