Young Ambassador event in Stafford

 

Over 70 Young Ambassadors recently attended an event at Stafford Sports College which looked at promoting the Olympics and Paralympics. 

The event organised by the Stafford and Stone School Sport Partnership saw Ambassadors from 30 schools take part in a variety of activities including cheerleading, street dance, crazy catch, batak and problem solving. 

The Ambassors have been chosen in their school to help with three main outcomes: 

1. Promote the Olympics/Paralympics
2.  Promote Healthy Lifestyles. 
3.  Promote Intra School Competition.

A further Ambassdor event will be held in the summer term where it is hoped representatives from each school in Stafford and Stone will be on hand to attend.

"The evening was a great success. It was a priviledge to be in the room with so many inspiring young individuals. The future of Stafford and Stone School Sport will d thrive with young people like these coming through the system" said Steve Glover, Partnership Development Manager.
