Activities

The Junior Sports Programme has been involved in supporting and promoting over thirty different activities.

Not all pupils wish or are able to engage in traditional sporting activities. We tare herefore are actively involved in introducing new games to schools and clubs that can make use of existing facilities whilst appealing to children with a broad range of skill and ability.

These include:

Ultimate Disc Sport

Pop Lacrosse for Local Schools

The Junior Sports Programme has introduced an equipment loan scheme to boost development of pop lacrosse as a junior sports activity in Lincolnshire.

We have worked with Nottingham Lacrosse and English Lacrosse to extend the sport into junior schools in the East Midlands by:

1. Providing loan equipment
2. Training teachers and coaches
3. Arranging inter school and regional tournaments

The programme also allows schools to test extending their sports curriculum without the need to incur expense buying new equipment. National Pop Lacrosse Rules can be downloaded here.

Pop Lacrosse has been played in Nottinghamshire for many years. The Junior Sports Programme's new scheme has enabled Lincolnshire schools to play the game. Coaching courses are available for teachers in both counties.

Our contribution is:

1. A downloadable instruction sheet - click here
2. Score sheet for you to print - click here
3. An annual trophy for the best distance thrown in 3 age categories (under 10/ under 13/ under 16).

The competition runs every year and open for entries until the 25^th September. Entries should be submitted to: info@juniorsport.co.uk .The winners will be announced in October.
