Premier League players take part in PE to mark free-kit scheme

Premier League footballers are joining PE lessons to celebrate the opening of this year’s Premier League Primary Stars Kit and Equipment Scheme.

Run in partnership with Nike, the Premier League Primary Stars Kit and Equipment Scheme provides primary school teachers with football kit and equipment to aid active lessons both in the classroom and on the sports field.

So far Tottenham Hotspur’s Kieran Trippier has headed to St John Vianney Catholic Primary School and Wolverhampton Wanderers captain Conor Coady has joined Fairfield Primary School for a PE lesson.

Whilst at the schools, each footballer will donate a Premier League Primary Stars equipment pack, including footballs, numbered and lettered floor spots and giant dice, which teachers at the primary school can use in lessons across the curriculum to help inspire children to learn and get moving.

Over 8,000 schools have benefited from the Premier League Primary Stars Kit and Equipment Scheme so far, with even more schools set to benefit this term, with applications now open for primary school teachers across England and Wales to apply for a free Nike football strip or a free equipment pack.

The scheme is available to primary school teachers who register to participate in Premier League Primary Stars at PLPrimaryStars.com, where curriculum-linked resources including lesson plans and worksheets are available to download for free.

Teachers based in England and Wales have until Friday 26 October 2018 to visit PLPrimaryStars.com to register and apply for the free Nike kit or free equipment pack.
