Active Norfolk Village Games 2012
Village Games Sport Co-ordinators Needed!
We are looking for a keen, enthusiastic individual or two with a vested interest in sport, community and local life and who may be looking for a new challenge in 2012. We are looking to recruit people who would enjoy being part of a thriving network of Village Games Sports Co-ordinators across Norfolk, keen to create and open up sporting opportunities for the local people in their village. There is a small financial incentive to the right person.
The aim is to enter a village team (can comprise up to four small neighbouring villages) into the South Norfolk Village Games on Sunday 10th June 2012 at Framingham Earl Sports Centre. The day comprises a range of sports - Badminton, Tennis, Table Tennis, Darts, Archery, Rounders, Short Mat Bowls, Fitness Triathlon (5 minute time on Treadmill, Rower & Exercise Bike), Football, Climbing Wall challenge and Athletics (several disciplines). It offers the opportunity for people to take part in fun high-quality events in their own villages, supported with coaching and ongoing support to encourage sustained participation. The intention is also to create hundreds of new members for the County's sports clubs.
Think a road show or a taster day in your village might help and generate interest? I can help coordinate this with the Village Co-ordinator, using the local facilities and look to use the local clubs that would serve as exit routes.
Need Equipment? Active Norfolk can help with that, at no charge. We operate an equipment loan scheme. Drop me a line for more information.
Interested in coaching? Active Norfolk can help with that too, through our Coaching Bursaries programme. Again, get in contact and I will be happy to discuss this in more depth.
If you think this could be you or you want to find out more information, please give me a call, Alex Bond, Rural Sports Development Officer on 07795291256, or drop me an email at alex.bond@activenorfolk.org
