Youth Sports Leaders Training Morning

We had a record turn out for our 10th year of the Youth Sports Leader programme. We have had numbers steadily grow over this time because of the leaders going to our feeder Primary Schools and leaving such good impressions. Those primary pupils in turn want to become one when they reach TRS. We had 77 applicants turn up for the Saturday morning training recently.
They all worked well together to complete a number of team challenges and then in small groups created a small game. It had to meet a set criteria laid out by Mr O’Connor and top of the list was it being fun and active.
We had 13 groups who delivered their bespoke activities, thrown in the deep end of presenting to their peers and they all took it in their stride.
The next step is to complete the monitoring period, which runs from now to half term. They have reports to be signed each PE lesson which indicate how well they are meeting the Regis 10.
In addition, they must be supporting the PE department with attendance to an extra-curricular club.
Finally and most importantly, they must show us what good role models they can be by getting no behaviour points.
They are acutely aware that a Youth Sports Leader must be a role model in the entire school community not just in PE lessons.
We are excited to have such a strong cohort of pupils taking these positive steps to becoming a Youth Sports Leader.
Watch this space.
