Sportshall Team help launch Tesco Sport for Schools & Clubs
A primary school in North Devon was the location for the launch of the Tesco Sport for Schools & Clubs, the UK’s biggest sports voucher collection scheme. In 2005, an incredible 32,000 schools and clubs signed up to the initiative, receiving over £11.6 million worth of sporting equipment and professional coaching sessions – that’s enough to provide every year seven pupil with a Slazenger Smash tennis racket and six tennis balls, or a size 4 Mitre football for every schoolgirl aged five – nine years old.
The launch event was at Ilfracombe CofE Junior School and coaches guided the children through the Agility Challenge Triathlon (Balance Test, Standing Long Jump & Speed Bounce), and the Eveque Hi-Stepper (one of the many Sportshall items in the Tesco catalogue). The four classes throughout the day had great fun participating and each of the 120 children received a scored certificate and vouchers to help the school along the way with their collecting!
