ABOUT SF KidFit

SF KidFit in a nutshell is a group of veterans working under the SF Training banner.  Our two identified main efforts are veteran suicide awareness and children’s health particularly in relation to childhood obesity.

At KidFit we don’t care if your kid has autism, is overweight, hearing difficulties, speech difficulties is ADD, ADHD, (or whatever), I'm not sure about blind, (but we'd give it a shot), or any other thing for that matter.  As I said we don’t care but to be totally honest neither do any of the other kids.

From my observations KidFit is about as close to a level playing field as you are going to get. They, the terror tots are too busy and fully engaged to care less and believe me I have pretty much seen it all.

If you’re in a team then you are in their team and it’s as simple as that.

From our perspective running a KidFit session is something akin to herding cats, but it is so much fun and to be completely honest with you these guys and girls are really Cool Cats.

I keep being asked can my kid with, ‘insert affliction’, do KidFit? The answer is a resounding yes.  And if for some reason they can’t we will run a special KidFit for them.   If you have a group of ‘insert affliction’ give us a call to discuss any special requirements we will adapt and overcome and most importantly sort it out...we will never leave anyone behind.  There are absolutely no excuses.

If for some reason you cannot afford to participate and are using this as a reason for your child not to attend then sit down and have a chat and we will work something out...Once again no excuses.

WHO IS KIDFIT?

Tim Cuming or to ‘Stomps’ to his friends is the CEO and founder of SF Solutions the parent company to SF KidFit.  Tim served for around 25 years in the regular army most of that time as a paratrooper with a stint at the Army Parachute Training School as a freefall instructor. 

The father of four boys ranging from ten to their early 20s he is no stranger to children, children’s development the amazing gifts that they are and the curveballs that they can throw us. 

SF Training is a veteran owned and operated company manned mostly but not exclusively by Paratroopers.  The staff and instructors at SF KidFit bring decades of practical team building and leadership expertise at the grass roots level.

WHY SF KidFit?

For several years SF Training has run adult group outdoor training sessions, Spartan Challenges and has conducted numerous realistic scenario based corporate team building and leadership activities.

 To be honest I guess like most important discoveries it was something we just stumbled on by accident.  Whenever we ran a local event either at Brighton or up Coolum way we always encouraged people to bring their kids along.  It really resonated with us how much the kids were enjoying themselves whilst running along the beach emulating the adults and it was obvious the positive effect this was having on the kids and adults alike.

The seed had been planted.  

SOMETHING TO SINK YOUR TEETH INTO THIS IS ABSOLUTELY SERIOUS STUFF AND WE (AS YOU AND I) NEED TO BE THE ONES WHO MAKE A DIFFERENCE.

According to The Australian Governments, Australian Institute of Health and Welfare, 1 in 4 Australian children (aged 2-17) were overweight or obese in 2014-15.
These are the results from a global study into obesity rates, published in the medical journal The Lancet, that shows almost a quarter of the country’s children and 63 per cent of the adult population are overweight or obese.

According to the study, Australia's obesity levels are now on par with the United States, but slightly less than New Zealand.

There are many ways to approach this growing problem but frankly we will leave the academic arguments to you guessed it...the academics’ choosing to do what we do best...smash the problem head on and lead by example. 

At KidFit we have a holistic approach to your Childs development in that we work simultaneously on strengthening the body and stimulating the mind.   SF KidFit is not just a physical training session in essence it is group play and it is fun.

It is semi structured anarchy where your children can cut loose within the construct of a team based environment. Team not Screen. This is where they make new friends, learn new skills, burn off energy and blow off steam.

You are welcome to either sit on the beach with a coffee or come out and be part of the chaos.

TEAMWORK

SF KidFit is where they learn that it is not all about the individual; we work around the premise that if we work as a group we can achieve much more, so much more. 

At KidFit we talk ad nauseam in regards to the team, we speak about how it doesn't matter if you’re not the fastest, strongest or the smartest we talk about how each team also needs thinkers, doers and a leader.  And that all great teams are made up from people who bring a whole different mindset to the party.

ENDSTATE

Is it for everyone?  No, nothing is but to be honest we can count the kids who don’t like these events on literally on one hand considering the thousands that have attended. 

Some parents say they dragged their kids kicking and screaming only for them to have a ball when they became involved.  One 12 year old I was told NEVER smiled, well the photos proved otherwise.

To be honest don’t ask them just bring them down, grab yourself a coffee and watch them cut loose. If they didn’t enjoy themselves then I'll give your $15 back, no dramas.

If you can't afford the $15 then come and see me and we will work something out. These guys are our planets future and as we said we will never leave anyone behind therefore there are no excuses.

Still in doubt just checks out the photos...look at the faces...these guys and girls just rock.
Awesome to have you all onboard

Cheers
