Our MasterPlay™ Range

To develop and hone their sporting skills and master their particular sport, players need the right equipment and this can be expensive.

In developing our MasterPlayTM range, we have searched the world for rackets, bats and balls for all mainstream sports. We have commissioned specialist manufacturers to design and make what we believe is some of the finest equipment available and because we deal direct with those manufacturers we are able to offer this equipment at very competitive prices.

Under the sporting categories of our catalogue please look out for our MasterPlayTM logo which represents our credo of the finest equipment at the lowest possible price.

Our Bishop Play-sport™ range has been developed with the fact that all children need to have fun in whatever physical activity they choose – whether it be in the playground or when learning the fundamental skills needed for various sports.

 

ACTIVATE™ PROGRAMME

It is generally recognized that children need to be encouraged to become more active and the ideal times for this, outside formal P.E. lessons, are breaktimes and lunchtimes.

The Activate Mix bags provide an extensive range of activities which will motivate children by providing a range of exciting equipment suitable for all skill levels and in sufficient quantity to enable all to participate . The scheme provides the following advantages:

• Increases activity levels
• Improves behaviour by channelling energy into movement
• Helps to address problem of isolation and social exclusion by offering group activities
• Encourages responsibility
• Opportunity to practice new skills learned in P.E. lessons

Having a wide range of different activities available in the playground and being able to try out different skills encourages participation and allows children to burn off excess energy and be more receptive in class.

The playground can be zoned into areas for different types of activity, including a quiet area, to prevent any one game dominating the playground, and so giving all children a chance to participate.

Older children can be trained to lead activities, and can be encouraged to be responsible for the distribution and collection of equipment.

 

Our Safaball™ range has been developed to help children develop the skills needed for various sports by the use of equipment designed to be safer and easier to handle therefore building the confidence needed to excel at later stages of the sports.
