The Get Set Points Card is an innovative project aimed
at increasing
sport and physical activity participation amongst children aged
between 5 and 13 years old.
It is completely free of charge for a child to
become a Get Set Points Card member. The card will work on a
similar basis as a loyalty scheme. Children receive a set number of
points every time they participate in sport and physical activity
through an approved provider or a South Staffordshire Council Get
Set activity, including the new Get Walking project. Upon reaching
specified point targets, the child can then redeem their points and
be rewarded with special discounts at a local sports club or with
coaching at their school.
There will also be special prizes available
soon to those who collect the most points in a stated month. These
prizes include free tickets to Telford Ice Rink, Dudley Zoo and
Birmingham Science Museum amongst others!
Upon applying, children receive their card
amongst other goodies through the post in a welcome pack. The card
is simple to use, it just has to be swiped at reception when
visiting a Leisure Centre operated by South Staffordshire Council
Leisure Services and the points are automatically added on!
It is anticipated the card will result in
increased opportunities for children to participate in sport and
physical activity both during school and out of school. Data
collection of participation trends will also assist Leisure
Services in future planning of children’s activities.
The card has initially been launched over a
small number of schools, with the project set to grow over the
coming months across the whole of the district. Look out for
application forms arriving at your child’s school soon!
