More than running around a park

Movement gives kids simple tools to practise in the session and draw on elsewhere.

A challenge gets hard. What are you telling yourself?

Something doesn’t work. What’s your next step?

You try again. What changed?

Meet Dave

I’m a qualified running coach and have been leading children’s programs for the past couple of years.

I built NVR GVN UP to combine movement kids enjoy with challenges that help them discover what they’re capable of.

I hold a current Working with Children Check. Every session has clear sign-in and supervised pick-up procedures.

  • Maximum 15 kids
  • First aid ready
  • Medical + emergency details collected
  • Parents welcome to stay

What to expect

Every session mixes running, games and individual + team challenges.

When something gets difficult, we pause briefly, introduce a simple idea or tool, then give kids another chance to put it into practice.

What to bring

  • Comfortable running shoes
  • A water bottle
  • A sun hat
  • Clothes your child can move in

Apply sunscreen before arriving.

Good to know

Does my child need to be athletic?

No. Different speeds and abilities are welcome. Progress matters more than comparison.

Do parents need to stay?

Stay and watch, or drop off after sign-in and return for supervised pick-up at your session’s finish time.

What if it rains?

We’ll run in light rain. If conditions aren’t suitable, we’ll contact you before the session.

Can I book siblings together?

Yes. Just indicate the total number of children attending the session in one booking.

Come give it a go.
