Nice that the children are still and the rest in motion.
On what to improve, I would say that the colors could be more exciting. There is some noise in the photo. The composition could be a little better, maybe by going closer to the children. And there is a foot or something in the lower right corner which is distracting.

I have to agree regarding the colours - seems a little bland! Which over all lets the image down for me.

A tighter crop on the right would have given you some interesting foot play and a dynamic that is presently missing. Nice work overall!
Best,
Jon

Thanks to all of you for your comments;
For the crop, that's right, I hardly ever crop and when I do, I always try to keep the regular picture format... but I should have cropped out the right part. it's useless and I agree that the knee on the lower right is disturbing...
Concerning the colors, what exactly should I do ? I'm not really good with post processing as you can see ;-)
Most of my picture are pretty much straight from the camera...

CouCou33,
the simplest way to make the colors "pop" is to try upping the saturation a bit.
I would use either photoshop or gimp. Gimp is free so it is a great solution to do so.
The other thing that you can try is an S curve and that along with the saturation should really make the photo speak!
