Fisical Sports Coaching | A Year Of Fundraising

A YEAR OF FUNDRAISING

Fisical Sports staff, friends and family have decided to do a year of fund raising, taking on a number of Physical challenges to raise as much money and awareness as possible for the charity Candlelighters. The idea to do these challenges came about because not only do we work with 100s of children a week from different backgrounds, having children of our own and seeing their faces over the Christmas period and the joy this time of years brings to them and their families inspired us to help others, We are very passionate about these challenges and want as many people as possible to join in helping us along our way.

We decided to choose the Charity ‘Candlelighters’ to work with because its a charity very close to the heart for us, On 31st of March 2005, Dave, Tom and James lost a very close friend Chris Smith and the age of 17 to cancer, a couple of years later on 4 February 2008 Chris’ Niece Chloe also lost her battle with cancer at the age of just 4 years old. The Support Chris’ family received from Candlelighters was fantastic and we would love to show our appreciation to them by raising as much money throughout the year as possible.

Thank you for your support!

Here is a list of the challenges we are taking on so far with some still to be added!

“Fisical Sports have been coming to St Clares Catholic Primary School for over four years. They have always turned up on time and are always pleasant and accommodating to staff. The children never have anything negative to say about them and love it if they receive the ‘Good Play’ Award. These certificates are given out to the children who try hard even if they struggle playing football. The team of coaches have also been more than happy to work with children who have special needs.

“Tom and James Greaves have worked with us at Glenaire Primary School for a number of years. They have

been outstanding role models for our pupils, inspiring them to achieve and succeed both in sport and

academically. The boys are totally professional in everything that they undertake, they are committed hard

working and thought very highly of by staff and pupils alike. Every school should have a Tom and James.”

“Our coach, Jordan, has built fantastic relationships with both the staff and the children. His sessions are exciting and the children love his PPA lessons and his after school coaching. He is particularly good with the little ones and manages their behaviour and abilities very well. I would highly recommend Jordan!”

“Our Football after-school club is our most popular club of the week. The children look forward to it and can’t wait to get changed and get to the hall on a Tuesday! Jonathan and Max work so well with all year groups and adapt the sessions appropriatley for Key Stage One and Key Stage Two. The children’s football and teamwork skills have greatly improved over the year and my Under 9 team have won several matches at competitions. Due to the success of the football club I have now booked an additional dance club to begin in the new academic year. Megan will be delivering various types of dance including cheerleading to the Key Stage Two children”
