Welcome to Issue 15 !
Welcome to our August issue.
This month we are bringing you some great sports to find out more about. We hope you enjoy the summer holiday and enjoy lots of sport.
The Sports This Month
Golf
Founded in 2005, the British Junior Golf Tour (BJGT) is a well-established and well-respected name in junior golf which attracts some of the best junior golfers from all around the UK, and beyond.
SURFING
Surfing is becoming increasingly popular in England – the sport is tons of fun and really gets the adrenaline going.
snooker
This month, due to amateur snooker waiting for the green light to reopen again, we are looking at some new elite young players joining the professional World Snooker Tour for the coming season.
Girls in Gloves
Girls In Gloves was set up after we received funding from Maverick Stars Trust to launch a Girls Boxing Project locally after being nominated by our National Governing Body England Boxing.
Athletics
The Olympics and Paralympics were supposed to be in full swing at the moment. Athletes competed at countless events in 2019 to be in with a chance to make the Olympic team.
BASEBALL
The British Baseball Federation (BBF) is the National Governing Body of baseball and they have given us this exclusive article to tell you some breaking news about baseball in the U.K!!
Return to football
The FA has just announced that competitive football can begin again for your age group BUT your clubs and coaches will need to follow the strict guidelines and here’s how you can help.
SOME FUN STUFF
There are lots of great things going on at the moment, despite the situation we are in. Take a look below.
YST - How active have most kids been in lockdown?
Did you know that the majority of children under 16 (93%) have continued to do something to stay active during lockdown but the amount of activity they are doing has fallen.
The Mintridge Foundation
Take a look at what has been happening over at Mintridge over the past few months.
School Baseball with Fun at Bat
If you don’t play baseball at school, why not tell your teachers about the great Fun at Bat run by Baseball Softball UK (BSUK). Hopefully this will all be able to start up again in schools soon.
