Our classes are aimed at real-world outcomes that benefit families. We encourage children to be active from a young age, setting healthy habits and helping them develop the skills they need to stay active throughout their lives.
Location
Classes are held online in a 1:1 at home setting which could include your living room, outdoor space or an area as small as 2m x 2.
Class Times
Our classes are up to 30 mins in duration and can be scheduled around your availability on weekends, mornings, or evenings.
Recommended Ages
Classes are designed for children aged 3-11, but we have had children as young as 1 participating.
Equipment
We make use of common household items like socks, rolled-up paper, washing baskets and toilet rolls.
Class Suitability
We can modify class intensity to suit all levels of fitness and ability, so that the whole family can participate.
Brand Pillars
Our pillars guide which stories we tell because they are firmly rooted in what makes Skadoosch unique and awesome, allowing us to stand apart. Our three defining pillars speak to how we are different and why that matters.

Our Purpose
Our purpose is to create meaningful classes for families to have fun whilst helping develop their children’s physical literacy and fundamental movement skills.
Our classes were born out of a realisation that children were not meeting the governments guidelines for recommended daily physical activity, and a recognition that parents are ultimately responsible for helping children achieve this. Parents are the most important role models in children’s development of long term habits.
Research provides evidence that families spend more time than ever together, but that’s in a state called “alone-together”, which means that whilst they are in the same location, they are actually spending a lot of that time alone.
Support Families
Support families in their pursuit of more meaningful interactions together.
Remove Barriers
Remove physical barriers for families, by offering or providing new venues for families to participate in physical activity.
Build Community
Encourage social interactions within the school grounds to build community within the school.
Create Positivity
Build on the positive impact that physical activity can have on a child’s ability to concentrate and learn.
Our Mutual Goals
- 1
For Children
Build physical literacy and fundamental movement skills. Educate children on mental health and break down gender stereotypes. - 2
For Parents
Building bonds within families and help parents to teach physical literacy to their children (motivation, confidence, and understanding of physical competence). Increase social interactions within families. - 3
For the Community
Building relationships between parents, schools, class leaders and other members of the community.
We seek to inspire change with this mentality, and are focused on delivering classes that address these focus areas.
Breaking Down Barriers for All Families
We believe everyone should have the opportunity to enjoy a fun and active life. Skadoosch is the result of a growing community, working together to provide just that.
The idea of family has changed over the years and it means something different to everyone. We believe that every family should have the opportunity to realise their potential and stay physically active, mentally happy and socially engaged together.
