Children’s Sport Club Celebrates Its 10th Birthday
A weekend sport club run by University of Worcester students for local children, has celebrated its 10th anniversary.
The Sunday Sport club runs every other Sunday at the University, when children from five Worcester primary schools take part in a host of activities between 10.30am and 12 noon.
In over 10 years more than 200 children have taken part in the club, which is run entirely by University of Worcester students who give up their time on a voluntary basis.
Club chairman Lucy Matley said: “The club allows us to get some teaching and coaching experience and is really fun for the children who take part. “We play all sorts of games with them, getting them to interact with one another and with us. “Over the past 10 years more than 60 students have volunteered with the club.”
The club held a special birthday event to mark its 10th anniversary with a cake, balloons and student coaches from Worcester Wolves and the University of Worcester’s Sport Coaching Science degree course.
“We had about 20 children who came along to celebrate with us, along with some past members,” Lucy said. “Sunday Sport is a very important initiative run at the University of Worcester and I’m proud to be a part of it.”
