Strathblane Primary School Parent Council:
Sports Working Group Survey of Parents’ Interest in After School Sports
The Parent Council has established a sports working group. The overall aim of the group is to improve the opportunities for sports and other physical activity for pupils at the school. We have three main goals:
1. Provide more sports sessions and clubs after school.
2. Provide more opportunity for competitive sports (e.g. inter-house competitions at school, inter-school tournaments).
3. Improve the facilities and equipment available for sports.
We are already making progress with all three of these goals, and we are working with Active Stirling to ensure that more sports clubs are offered to pupils this year. These will rely on parent volunteers to help run sessions, and we hope to establish a rota so that individuals do not become overly committed.
Parent volunteers are already running netball and TOPS (multi-activity physical and sports sessions which are scheduled to be offered to all classes). Tennis is also currently being offered after school by an external coach. Parent volunteers have also been trained (or will shortly receive training) to deliver hockey, dance, cheerleading and cycling proficiency. It is therefore hoped that these activities will be offered this year – and hopefully more – this all depends on the availability of parent volunteers.
Parent volunteers need not be expert in particular sports – all we are looking for is some enthusiasm! Volunteers will work in groups of two or more, and training is available at no cost for many sports.
If you would be interested in helping out at any sports sessions, please complete the form below, or speak to me (01360 770362).
