The Football
In January 2020, it emerged that one in four children in Ireland cannot run properly, two in four cannot kick a ball and only 17% of primary school children engage in the recommended one hour of exercise a day.
This football is a metaphor for the hours of exercise that children are missing out on as they favour spending time on iPads, video games and television screens over physical activity that is key to the development of motor and fundamental movement skills.
