Modern education is increasingly focused on the comprehensive development of the individual, and physical education is no exception. That is why SSF supports the development of non-traditional sports in rural areas, because they not only expand children’s physical capabilities, but also stimulate their interest in an active lifestyle.
Frisbee or ultimate is a team game with a flying saucer that develops coordination, reaction speed and team spirit. Ultimate does not require complex equipment or special conditions, making it ideal for school playgrounds.

Orienteering is a sport where participants must find certain control points on the terrain with the help of a map and compass. This is not only a physical activity, but also an intellectual activity that develops spatial thinking skills.

School Sport Foundation (SSF) actively supports children’s aspirations to develop and engage in sports. Thanks to this support, schools can organize classes in frisbee, parkour, yoga, orienteering and crossfit, which allows students to find their favorite sport and develop harmoniously.
Non-traditional sports open up new horizons for physical education of schoolchildren. They make physical education lessons more interesting and diverse, contribute to the comprehensive development of the child, improve his physical health and psychological state. Involvement of children in such sports helps them find their interests and form healthy habits for life. Thanks to the support of the SSF, these initiatives are becoming more accessible and implemented in educational institutions.
