Competitions
Priesthorpe SSP runs an extensive schools competition programme
for primary and secondary schools which is co-ordinated by its Competition
Manager, Gillian Brown. Eighteen sports have produced a National
Schools Competition Framework for their sport, which means that
the competitions are:
- Inclusive - incorporating all ages, abilities, areas, preferences
(i.e. team sports / individual sports)
- Integrated - the events should link into a competition pathway
where appropriate (e.g. local heats, area finals, city finals
etc.)
- Co-ordinated - to prevent duplication and clashes, need to link
with other sports partners such as sports development, national
governing bodes etc.
The aim is to maintain the 50% of young people participating in
inter-school competition in 2008, and if possible to slightly increase
this figure, especially in secondary schools.
