About Us

Fit4Kids delivers school sports programs for kindergarten to grade seven students across the Hunter and Newcastle regions in NSW. As a nationally-accredited Sporting Schools provider, we tailor the programs to your grant, so your school is not left out of pocket.

Run by experienced coaches Leanne Polglase and Sophie Crouch, Fit4Kids plan and deliver the programs, freeing up teachers’ time and providing students with fun and valuable physical education sessions.

Outside the Sporting Schools program, we also offer specialised coaching for representative school sporting teams plus clinics to improve fundamental physical activity skills.

Founders and Coaches Leanne and Sophie

We founded Fit4Kids after seeing children finish primary school without the basic physical skills they need for a healthy, active lifestyle.

With a decade of experience playing sport at an elite level and 15 years of coaching (and counting!), we love sport and sharing our skills with others.

For us, there’s no better feeling than seeing a child’s face light up with pride as they master a technique for the first time. We’re passionate about teaching kids the fundamentals, providing them with a safe, encouraging environment to tackle new skills.
