The Get Kids To Play audit framework, built from two decades of experience by Sportz Village, identifies five critical parameters that directly influence students' participation in active play and physical education in schools. These focus areas not only assess the availability and quality of sports infrastructure and curriculum but also measure how well a program meets the expectations of children, parents, and facilitators. Each area is carefully chosen based on its proven impact on promoting sustained, structured, and inclusive sports engagement for school students.
Allocating sufficient time for sports ensures regular participation and physical literacy. This area assesses the number of scheduled PE periods and after-school sports engagement.
Adequate space is essential to accommodate various physical activities and sports for students. This parameter evaluates how well the school infrastructure supports simultaneous sports sessions and the variety of sports options provided.
The core purpose of any school sports program is to meet the needs and expectations of students. This parameter measures studentsβ interest in PE and their participation in inter-school competitions.
The quality and availability of trained PE teachers directly affect program delivery and student engagement. This parameter evaluates the student-teacher ratio and the qualifications of PE staff.
A well-structured sports curriculum ensures age-appropriate, progressive, and inclusive activities for all students. This focus area assesses both the curriculum coverage and availability of adequate equipment.
