About the course

Created by The FA, Disney inspired Shooting Stars transforms girls into their favourite superheroes through active play.

Schools can bring the magic of Disney into breakfast clubs, lunchtime and after school activities. Through imaginative storytelling, girls will develop their:

  • Fundamental movement skills
  • Teamwork
  • Speaking and listening skills
  • Mental wellbeing and confidence

Disney inspired Shooting Stars is perfect for primary-aged girls, particularly those who tend to shy away from physical activity. 

The programme provides school staff with fully funded on-demand training and ready-to-use resources, equipping them with everything needed to run the engaging sessions. It also contributes to schools’ plans to deliver high quality PE and sports for all pupils, and supports Key Stage 1 physical education outcomes.

Every girl is a superhero – build your girls’ physical literacy and confidence through Disney inspired Shooting Stars.

 It was great to see live sessions and how the programme was brought to life in the playground. The training gave me some great tips on how I could deliver it and get the kids involved.
