Saturday 15th July saw our gymnastics school complete the summer term block of sessions with outstanding success! Our expert coach, Adamos who leads the school is immensely proud of the progress the classes have made throughout the school year.
Children can expect themselves to finish with an LSBU Active t-shirt, a certificate and a medal for their efforts so far. We’re looking forward resuming the sessions in September for the 2023/24 school term.
LSBU Active are running their Summer Sports Camp from July 24th – 1st September, where primary school children aged between 5-12 can take part in inclusive sports with qualified coaching. All abilities welcome, taking place at London Southbank University’s Southwark Campus. The timetable includes cricket, football, netball and we’ll also be hosting a gymnastics school from 8th & 15th August.
Lots of handouts throughout the six week block, including free gym/class passes for parents/guardians and a London South Bank T-Shirt for the children. Contact camps@lsbu.ac.uk for further information”
11th July 2023, LSBU Active hosted a workshop delivered by the London FA to train our Sports Ambassadors and local members of the community of strategies and initiatives for accessible and inclusive pathways in football.
This was a fantastic opportunity to train our coaches and develop our disability sports offer at LSBU, but to also network with local football programmes in the community and how we can support inclusive football in Southwark.
Our Sports Ambassador Scheme has many upsides to benefit your student and professional life. With opportunities to coach the sports you love, earn qualifications from awarding bodies and work in a paid role, our Sports Ambassador Scheme aims to build your professional development and employability.
Our most recent venture has been hosting the London FA to deliver an Accessibility and Inclusion Workshop for coaches to support with our disability football programme we ran in July.
Our Sports Ambassador who took lead coaching LSBU Active’s disability football sessions said “I gained greater insight to the verity and lengths of support available. I was most impressed with the level of experience the people delivering had, you could recognise they knew what they were talking about”
LSBU Active supported Year 8 students from South Bank University Academy in the first Sports Festival as part of the Day 10 project.
LSBU Active has led a six-week programme of activities as part of the Day 10 initiative, and the final project was for the Year 8 South Bank University Academy students, supported by the LSBU Sports Ambassadors, to deliver a Sports Festival to primary school children.
Over the course of the six-week programme, LSBU Sports Ambassadors have delivered sessions on how to coach, sharing key skills and knowledge, and the Year 8 students also engaged in Applied Science, testing sessions and gym introductions.
The sports festival was a great success with 61 children taking part from local primary schools. They learnt new sports games, made new friends, and had the chance to visit the brand-new sports facilities at LSBU Active. The students also got the opportunity to share the knowledge they have developed throughout the project.
For our Sports Ambassadors, this has been a great experience, the project was able to align with their academic studies and add to their portfolio.
