Four of Carr Hill’s Sports Leaders have set up a new sports club in the hope that it encourages less active students to join in.
Sports Leaders Tom and Millie in Year 10 and Katie and Emily in Year 11 who have recently been selected to join Lancashire Young Coaches Academy, have created the club to entice less active students to join in with extra-curricular sports, whatever their fitness level or ability. The ‘Inclusive Sports Club’ is open to all Year 7, 8 and 9 students and will showcase sports such as badminton, table tennis, handball, dodgeball and volleyball in the hope that students who historically haven’t participated will develop a new found love of sport. Incentives such as an invite to the prestigious annual ‘Sportsmans’ Dinner’ if they attend 7 out of 10 sessions and a dinner hall queue jump card if they bring a friend are on offer too.
Sports Leader and Young Coach Katie in Year 11 said, “It is well known that sport not only improves fitness levels, but also goes a long way in helping students feel happier and better in themselves as well as helping them concentrate and learn better in class. We really hope that the club is a success and students know that they can come along whatever their sporting ability or fitness to have some fun, make new friends and get a little bit more active”.
Mr Doughty added, “This is specifically for students who think they aren’t sporty. Absolutely everyone can benefit from being a bit more active and I’d really like to encourage those students who haven’t participated in extra-curricular sport before to come along and give it a go”.
The club takes place on the following days:
Y7, 8 and 9 Girls: Monday, 1.30pm -2pm Sports Dome
Y7, 8 and 9 Boys: Tuesday, 1.30pm -2pm Sports Dome
