Young people lead to success

 

 

 

Around 30 young leaders from Chase Terrace Technology College and Chasetown Specialist Sports College took the lead to deliver the second Burntwood Indoor Athletics competition organised for the Burntwood and Lichfield School Sport Partnership. 

 

BTec students came together for a 2 hour training event to plan and organise the competition which involved both track and fields events. Leaders were tasked with setting up, delivering, officiating and scoring each of the 32 events.

 

On the 8^th December around 150 year 5/6 pupils from 5 primary schools from the Partnership embarked on Chasetown Specialist Sports College and battled it out to decide who would be crowned Burntwood Indoor Athletics winners. At the end of the two and half hour event Hollygrove Primary school were crowned winners with a score of 274 points.

 

The success of the competition was down to the leaders who were polite, courteous and very responsible on the day. Nigel Camacho, Competition Manager said: “Without the leaders the competition could not have gone ahead they took the initiative and worked really well together. It’s been a pleasure working with them."

Sports Hall Athletics – Young Leaders

 

The above event which was organised by Burntwood and Lichfield School Sport Partnership was led by the Y10 Btec students from the Friary School on Tuesday 17^th November. The volunteers had one training session and were then thrown in at the deep end to ensure the event went smoothly!

 

On the 1^st round of the field events they were slightly overwhelmed but rapidly settled down and got to grips with what they were supposed to be doing.

 

They were all very enthusiastic and supportive of the competitors, from 7 Lichfield Primary Schools, throughout the whole afternoon and behaved in a professional manner. They demonstrated events and encouraged throughout.

 

Below are pictures of some of the Young Leaders who gave up their time to support this event which was won by St Michael’s Primary School, Lichfield.
