Maverick Fit Kids is India’s first physical literacy informed curriculum piloted in schools in 2013. Born out of a vision to promote the importance of holistic wellbeing, the curriculum of Maverick has been designed as a cross curricular multi-dimensional approach to physical education - not limiting it to only competitive sports. The program draws strength from the physical, affective & cognitive demands placed by classical Indian dance, fundamental movement skills, team building & sportsmanship from exposure to varied sports, knowledge & understanding of health from fitness, and spiritual rootedness to value & treat the body with dignity from yoga. Maverick is the exclusive implementation partner of the Sports, Physical Education, Fitness & Leisure Council (SPEFL-SC) for schools in Tamil Nadu & Puducherry. SPEFL-SC is a Not-for-Profit organisation formed by Ministry of Skill Development & Entrepreneurship (MSDE) and is the Nodal entity for promoting physical education in the country. The council has been promoted by National Skill Development Corporation & Federation of Indian Chambers of Commerce & Industry (FICCI). Maverick is the only private entity to represent the Government of India in promoting physical education programs in Schools through this Government-Private partnership, to mutually grow & benefit all involved. Schools implementing the program will receive accreditation and will be permitted to use the branding of SPEFL-SC. Maverick is also the only private entity in India associated with the International Physical literacy association (IPLA) with an MoU for their training and development initiatives.
