An expert virtual coach, who is well versed with what is correct for the proper development of a child, is a necessary component for his growth.

Message From Chairman

New physical activity norms have changed the way children, youth and adults live, study, work and play. Schools, colleges and any number of public and private institutions have gone online drastically curtailing our physical activity and adversely affecting our health and immunity against diseases.

28% of India’s population is younger than 14 years of age and 45% is below 25. By its sheer demographic magnitude, the youth in India carries the enormous responsibility of the aspirations of 1.39 billion Indians. In this endeavour, the National Active Championship contest is our way of exciting children and youth to adopt a physically active lifestyle and imbibe a scientific temperament to make them academically focussed, emotionally balanced and better equipped in the pursuit of their passions to lead India to become a healthier, happier, prosperous and progressive nation.

At this juncture, I must also thank all our stakeholders including children, parents and schools for continuously creating and consuming amazing fun sports, co-curricular and academic activities on NacFun platform right through the intense covid-19 lockdowns and thereafter to ensure that children and youth of NacFun community remained healthy and happy.

Why at Home Physical Activity is Critical for Today’s Children

How does a child spend the day:

A school going child spends just about 8 hours in school, including travel to and from home on a normal day in a typical urban town. If we exclude 8 hours of school time and another eight for his sleep and other chores of the day, he is left with 8 hours of free time at home. On Saturdays and Sundays since schools are closed, the kid is home the entire day. What does he do during his free time at home? Most kids spend an hour or two doing homework. The rest of the time they are mostly watching TV or playing video games, doing online streaming or browsing (Screen Time) or simply whiling away time. Kids are thus largely physically inactive while at home.

Consequences of physically inactive life style at home :

Several studies have shown that a physically inactive child who spends long hours on Screen Time tends to adopt a sedentary life style, leading to lack of focus on anything, including studies. This means an overall unsatisfactory academic performance, preventing the child from reaching his full potential in school. As he grows up and continues with his sedentary lifestyle into youth, he may underperform even in his professional career. Obesity and the onset of lifestyle diseases then follow at a much earlier stage in life. Studies suggest that today’s youth will be the first in the next few generations to live less longer than their parents.

Active Fun Academy tackles the High Screen Time – Low Physical Inactivity Epidemic:

One way to make children physically active is to enrol them in some kind of sports. A majority of today’s youth are already addicted to gadget based video games and don’t easily take to traditional sports such as cricket, football, and badminton etc. ‘FunSports’ on the other hand are gamified physical activities developed by Active Fun Academy - a venture of US company TopYa! after several years of scientific research, with the help of US universities, global experts in physical education and well known American and European sports clubs. With the curriculum of fun physical activities designed to allure and engage kids and youth of all ages, ‘FunSports’ content engages today’s Generation V (Video, Venture & Viral) by leveraging the very same technology that makes them physically inactive into becoming physically active any time, anywhere including within their homes

Benefits to children and youth using ‘FunSports’

A child who becomes physically active under the aegis of ‘FunSports’, learns to focus, persevere and self-challenge. This has a salutary effect on the child’s general performance and overall personality, leading to physical fitness, academic focus and emotional balance. Accordingly, Active Fun Academy helps to transform an inactive life-style into a physically active one, resulting in healthier and happier future generations that are confident, intellectually strong and professionally successful.
