“Obesity starts early. All children gain weight during growth, but we are interested in the excess gained. There is much concern about school meals, PE time, after-school clubs, television viewing, computer games and green space in the cause of childhood obesity - all of them primary school issues. However, we find that over 90% of the excess weight in girls, and over 70% in boys, is gained before the child ever gets to school age.” (Gardner D S-L, Pediatrics, 2008).

The national obesity figures for 2006 show that, among children aged 2-15, almost 1 in 3 (nearly 3 million) – are overweight and obese (29.7%) and approximately 1 in 6 (about 1.5 million) are obese (16%). In 2006-08 the Central and Eastern Cheshire Primary Care Trust found that more than 1 in 5 of the children measured in reception year (aged 4-5 years), were either overweight or obese (22% & 20.4% respectively).

With the above figures in mind, we have shown great interest and enthusiasm that Little Superstars Sports Club will encourage children and parents to be more active along with finding a sport or sports to which their child wishes to pursue.

Little Superstars Sports Club has now moved onto Superstars Sports Club for children aged between 5-11 year old providing sessions within a school setting, holiday clubs and the ever popular multi sports or single sports parties.
