Borussia's Bundesliga in Motion gets kids moving with fun fitness sessions

A new fitness programme is bringing more movement into children's daily routines at Heyden Community Primary School. Called Bundesliga in Motion, the initiative was launched by Borussia and aims to encourage long-term health and physical activity. The first session saw 22 eight-year-olds from Class 2a taking part in an energetic workshop led by a club coach.

The programme was organised by Lea-Sophia Lenz and Anna Froneberg from Borussia's FohlenAkademie. Paul Fröhling, a coach from the academy, guided the children through their first movement session. The school's headteacher, Nicole Kruchen, noted that such activities help build teamwork and cooperation among pupils.

Beyond Heyden Community Primary, Borussia is also running similar sessions at nearby locations. These include the Mucki II kindergarten in the same neighbourhood. Participation in the programme is voluntary, yet nearly all children have chosen to join in.

Looking ahead, the initiative will expand further. Teachers and parents are set to receive training on how to promote exercise and nutrition among youngsters. The goal is to make movement and healthy habits a natural part of everyday life for children.

The Bundesliga in Motion programme has started with a strong response from pupils. By involving schools, kindergartens, and families, Borussia hopes to create lasting changes in children's health and activity levels. The first sessions have already shown enthusiasm from both students and educators.
