Barnsley College Sport students have organised and officiated The
College Games, a regional sport tournament in partnership with Yorkshire
Sport Foundation and Association of Colleges (AoC).
Students from Barnsley College were joined by students from Sheffield
College, Rotherham College and Doncaster College to take part in the
tournament. The sessions were arranged by Level 3 Sport students as part
of their course which requires them to officiate sport sessions.
The tournament, held at the College’s Sports Academy, included football,
dodgeball, volleyball and badminton. The event was aimed at providing
opportunities for young people to get involved in sport and physical
activity.
Chloe White, 17, a Level 3 Sport student, said: “I really enjoyed the
tournament. It was very competitive and provided me with problem
solving, organisational and communication skills which I can use in the
future.”
Debra Cummins, Development Manager at Yorkshire Sport Foundation, added:
“Through the Sport England funded satellite clubs project, we want to
get more 14 to 19 year-olds active.
“This event was about getting those students who are usually quite
inactive, experiencing sport and the benefits that come with being
active. All the students involved in organising and taking part have
been enthusiastic, helpful and willing to learn. They should be really
proud of themselves.”
