🎾 Year 3/4 Tennis Festivals 🎾

A fantastic day at Melton Mowbray Tennis Club, where 200 children from 10 schools took part in a carousel of 8 exciting tennis activity stations, led by the outstanding student leaders from Long Field Spencer Academy. 👏

It was wonderful to see so many young people getting active, developing their skills and enjoying the opportunity to participate in a positive sporting environment.

A huge thank you to Ryan and Di at Melton Mowbray Tennis Club for hosting and delivering the festival, and to the fantastic student leaders from Long Field for their enthusiasm and support in making the event such a success.

Finally, congratulations to all the children who took part and represented their schools so brilliantly. Your energy, effort and sportsmanship throughout the day were fantastic! 🌟🏅🎾

Melton Lions have kindly sponsored the individual winner and team medals for the upcoming Primary Schools Cross Country Festival at Long Field Spencer Academy.

We are now seeking sponsorship for the Fun Run, which is designed to encourage participation and celebrate children's achievements regardless of their finishing position. Sponsorship would help us provide medals or small rewards for participants and enhance the overall experience for the young people taking part.

If your organisation would be interested in supporting this community event, we would be delighted to discuss the opportunity further. Any contribution would be greatly appreciated and would help create a memorable and positive experience for local primary school children.

For further information, please get in touch with Clare Marlow - [email protected]

School Provision with Melton & Belvoir SSPAN 🏫

Over the last year, I've been working with Clare to provide accessible, fully inclusive sessions in local schools. Clare was passionate about providing meaningful physical activity to children and young people with SEND hence our partnership was born!

So far we've reached 70 students across 6 schools and our next project begins in October where we will expand this further 😍

You can read the full case study here about our work - https://www.yourschoolgames.com/case-study/a5e2f9ce-f63e-4487-a54c-a23f6771d32f/

As part of our outreach offering, we have limited availability for bookings with Leicestershire schools. We visit specialist provisions, SEND units and mainstream schools to work with small groups of children with additonal needs. Contact Ella if this sounds like a great fit for your schools [email protected]
