Top Link leads the way in Stafford

 

On Tuesday 1st and Thursday 3rd March, the Stafford and Stone School Sport Partnership played host to two Staffordshire Top Link Conferences. 

 

The conferences were aimed at 12-15 years to inspire leadership qualities. Over the two days over 250 young people descended on Stafford Sports College. The events organised by Partnership Development Manager Stephen Glover, were led superbly by 30 students from sixth forms in Stafford and Stone and also Stafford College. On hand to support the events was Dermot Gascoigne (former professional heavyweight boxer) and Thinus Delport (South African Rugby International).

 

Pupils were treated to on opening ceremony which included a solo performance by Stafford College student Hannah Gamston, and then a variety of activites throughout the day. These included: Cheerleading, Ultimate Frisee, Boccia and Multi Skills.

 

 

At the conclusion of the day, pupils were challenged to go back to their individual schools and develop further intra or inter competition opportunities for young people.

 

"The two days were an overwhelming success.  It was great to see so many inspirational, young sporting leaders. Their enthusiasm and commitment were excellent and demonstrate quite clearly the role that School Sport can play." Stephen Glover, Partnership Development Manager.
