With a whopping 63% of parents struggling with the financial cost of putting their children through sporting activities both inside and outside of school, and with the cost of living crisis still hitting households hard, it doesn't seem as though this is going to change anytime soon.
To help tackle rising uniform costs, Decathlon, the world’s largest sports retailer, has launched its under £25 'Back to Sport Pack' which includes basic gym kit, ensuring all kids are able to participate in sports at school or otherwise.
The sports kit bundle includes essential items such as shorts, t-shirt, trainers and a backpack, that are available in UK sizes, ages 4-15 years, and shoppers can purchase the items either in-store or online from today. This gives parents plenty of time to get their kids kitted out well ahead of the start of term come September.
Decathlon's sports kit bundle is under £25 and available to buy instore and onlineWith the cost of living continuing to impact sport and fitness participation across the UK, research by Decathlon has revealed, as mentioned earlier, 63% of parents and carers have experienced struggles with funding the rising cost of school uniform and fitness kit for their children. And as a result 2 in 5 children have had to partake in sports in sub-standard kit.
Will Taylor, Commercial Lead at Decathlon, comments: “Sport habits and participation are known to be developed at school age, and grow through adult life. We know that kids are keen to try out new sports, however we understand that the cost of gear and kit can act as a barrier for participation. The Back to School Pack helps parents and children save significantly on the cost of essential school sports kit, and will hopefully allow more children and young people to try out the sports and activities that they want to, without breaking the bank.”
