Stafford Borough Primary Schools invited to Tournaments
The Sports Development Team work hard to ensure that the young people of the Borough have the opportunity to take part in a variety of sports. Whether it’s coaching sessions run by qualified coaches in the community and at schools, organising sports festivals and tournaments or delivering school holiday activities, there’s something for everyone.
for teams to progress from the local events to compete at county, regional and ultimately national level, with the national stage of each tournament taking place at iconic sporting venues such as Twickenham for the national TAG rugby tournament. Therefore the team are providing a platform at a local level for teams to progress and compete at a very high standard at some top quality venues.
Significant achievements for 2011 included Stafford Preparatory School progressing from the borough TAG rugby festival to the county tournament and then on to the regional finals. The girls kwik cricket festival, set up in 2009 with the aim of improving the development of girls cricket in the area continues to gain momentum, with almost 100 girls taking part this year.
The winner and runners up of each tournament are presented with a trophy for their school and individual medals, all participants receive a specially designed certificate.
Preparations are underway for the 2012 school tourmaments and festivals and primary schools will be invited to register their teams in the next few weeks at www.staffordbc.gov.uk/sportsdevelopment (with new online registration for 2012 to replace the paper entry forms).

Sportivate Skate Project Success
Sportivate is part of ‘Places People Play’, the 2012 mass participation legacy programme which is being delivered by Sport England. This nation wide initiative will target 14-25 year olds who are non or semi sporty and offer them the chance to take part in 6-8 weeks of sporting activity.
The first of the two Sports Development Team’s Stafford Sportivate projects for 2011/12 has been a huge success with over 40 young people accessing the mobile skate park at Rowley Park. The team easily achieved their Sportivate target for 15 young people to attend every one of the four, 2 hour-long sessions on offer.
The second Sportivate Project will start early next year, encouraging non or semi sporty young people to use the gym facilities at Stafford Leisure Centre and Westbridge Park Fitness Centre in Stone (plus the pool at Alleyne’s).
