Sporting Promise Event in Wakefield

The Sporting Promise Celebration Event was held yesterday in Wakefield, it was a fantastic day! Take a look at the images below and see for yourself the fun which was had by all! Many activities were carried out, including warm ups, street cheer and pom dance. The event was held in partnership with The UKCA and Matalan Sporting Promise, with an aim to teach an array of sports to youngsters.

The day was wonderfully successful, forwarding the notion that, β€œSporting Promise is a fun and exciting way to engage young people in a whole range of sports and physical activity. It’s really important that sport is made as appealing as possible to help encourage our pupils to become far more fit and active.” Emma Arnold, Teacher, Whartons Primary.

Safiya Duncan:
I am part of jet black dance group and my job is to help do the registers and while doing that I have learnt some dance routines which I like because dancing is quite fun to join in with plus it’s a way for me to exercise. I am studying performing arts which dance is a part of sometimes so it helps me doing this with jet black.

Being part of something like this is good. It gives you a break from the everyday things because when I come here I have fun. Hopefully I will one day be able to be as good as Yosha .

Makisa Gilkes:
I am part of jet black dance group where we are a group which helps people learn different styles of dancing. I have quite a lot of experience in teaching dance as I have a qualification which is street cheer dance. In the class I help teach routines. One of my hobbies is netball and I have played for Manchester thunder, northwest regional and Tameside. Which I am very proud of because I’m very passionate about netball being able to be part of these teams gave me something else to be proud of. Another thing I do is athletics. Doing dance is very fun to me this is why I love being part of the Jet black dance group.

Chinaiyah Lauder-Bell:
I am apart of jet black dance group I enjoy doing dance routines with the group. I also have a qualification in street cheer dance. My main skills are gymnastics which I put into the routines and help others with in our group. I do rugby and we compete against other schools for matches.
