Answer
Our school already offers a wide range of sports (such as rugby & football) why do we need Kitesports?
Children are not getting enough exercise. In this 'Playstation Generation' many kids are simply sitting down and staring at a TV or computer screen. Some kids are not interested or excited with 'conventional' sports such as football and athletics. We need something new and different to capture their imaginations. Kiting is fun, exciting, and can be done by any child. It is suitable for young children who simply enjoy running around with single line 'drone' kites; through to children who have become skilled pilots and learning to use the full power of the wind. The adrenalin rush that power kiting delivers makes the sport very addictive and offers true excitement. You only have to read the case studies to fully understand how successful the project has been. If we want children to do more sport and more exercise we need to offer them something new.
