“Neil Richmond - Stobhillgate PrimaryOur Hoopstarz day across the whole school was brilliant! Children haven’t had so much fun for ages. Loud music, dance skills, posture, all the while rotating a hoop – who could ask for more? It was like 1001 creative ways to use a hoop! I now see certain children in a new light, especially the children from our neighbouring Special School who surprised even themselves. If you can’t spin a hoop at the end of this day I’ll be astonished. Thank you so much to the team for bringing a mega PE experience into our school. Here’s to the next one.

“Cramlington School Sports Partnership -The staff are so enthusiastic with the children and are organised and professional to work with -the organisation of the entire hula-hooping project for the Sport Partnership was completely stress-free.

“Gill Marsden - Cramlington School Sport Partnership CoordinatorThe Hoopstarz programme has started a revolution in our Partnership schools! The Hoopstarz Experience day package inspired pupils and staff alike, and the set of hoops means that the hula-hooping has continued in PE lessons, extra-curricular clubs, and playgrounds across the town. Younger pupils are learning from the older ones to develop their skills and, most importantly, get active! I honestly can’t recommend it enough, and can’t wait to do it all again next year!

“Allison Hall - North View Academy, SunderlandHoopstarz came to our school as part of our ‘Healthy Week’ – We had a fantastic time! Instructors engaged brilliantly with all our children. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed taking part, including the staff. All our children were successful and learned new skills. At the request of our children we have purchased our own hoops and they continue to HULA in school at playtime. We will definitely be inviting Hoopstarz back again!

“Prince Bishops - Bishop AucklandAn absolutely fantastic experience for staff and children alike. Some children were very unsure about taking part at first until they walked into the hall and started! The enthusiasm was infectious. ALL children joined in, some excelled. The activities were brilliantly explained and demonstrated. The effect on the children was far reaching. Some have self esteem issues and these were totally overcome in the half hour session. One teacher had tears in her eyes as she watched some children progress through the session. Highly recommend it!”

“Jade Martin - Shanklea Primary School“WOW!!!!! That word sums up our day and your staff! An absolutely fantastic day ran by such professionals! We have fantastic coaches visit our school all the time but your staff stood out as the best. I honestly can’t sing their praises enough! Fantastic attitude and professional visiting coaches in our school. They were engaging and fun – the children responded to them so well. The whole organisation of this day and leading up to it has worked so well. We have all enjoyed it and this is only the beginning of Shanklea Hula Hooping stars! I haven’t mastered it yet but I’m sure I will. Thank-you so much again.”

“David Mordue - Fellside Community Primary SchoolThe Hoopstarz session really got the children enthused and motivated to try hula hooping as a fun physical activity. The event went so well that we now have a Hula Hooping after school club which the children love!
”
“Joe, Year 4 - Fellside Community Primary SchoolI’d never bothered with hula hooping before but I tried it when KidzRfit came into school and I really enjoyed it. I like it because it’s a bit different to the usual sports like football and rugby. I go to hula hooping club every week now and really enjoy it.

“Katie - Age 6This has been the best day ever!!

“Kai - Age 9This is better than football!

“Louise Wiegand - Head - Springwell Village Primary SchoolWe had Hoopstarz in on Friday and WOW – What an amazing day! The workshops were outstanding and perfectly catered for the different ages and abilities of the children from Nursery to Year 6.
We were stunned to see the children learn and master the skills so quickly and the staff loved being able to join in and have fun with them. The biggest indicator of what a huge success this day was, were the children – laughing, smiling and desperate to buy their own hoop to take home and practice with over the weekend. Genuine impact in action!
I wholeheartedly recommend.

“Gill Smith - Cramlington School Sports Partnership“Cramlington School Sport Partnership have worked closely with Kidz R Fit for the past 4 years. Tracey and her team are enthusiastic, energetic and inspiring, but equally important they are always professional and reliable. Children across Cramlington have developed amazing hula hoop skills through in-school Hoopstarz Days and Hoopstarz Festivals for Y3 children. Children from Nursery to Y6 are fully engaged in the Hoopstarz sessions, with a perfect mix of hula hooping skills and tricks, and fun and imaginative games, and this format is enhanced further at the 2hr long festivals. This enthusiasm for hooping has led to an increase in physical activity in the playground, PE lessons and new extra-curricular clubs.”
