Melksham Young
Leaders
Several Melksham Junior Schools have been involved in
the Young Leaders Award scheme this summer.
Run by the Sports Leaders
Organisation and supported by the Youth Sport Trust, the YLA is aimed at pupils
in junior schools who are able to learn more about how to organise and deliver
sports activities to younger pupils. The eight-hour course includes areas of
work such as utilising space, using appropriate equipment and safety in
sports.
The course has already proved popular in Melksham with Bowerhill
School gaining the first awards. In the summer term, four other schools joined
the scheme with Year 5 being the most popular age group. In this way, it is
hoped that the leaders will use their new skills to help staff with sport and
physical activities when they join the top year group in the autumn. |
