Netball Tournament for our local school community

Seaton House School has been organising a primary school Netball tournament for the past 38 years.

The event takes place in the school grounds.  

This is a very popular event that brings together a selection of local schools to participate in a competitive, exciting and fun afternoon of sport.

 

Every time we organise an inter school event we look to invite schools from the Maintained sector as well as Independent. Tournaments are well received by schools taking part.

Aims

To provide an opportunity for schools in the area to come together as a community and join in a fun tournament which will hopefully improve the girls' skills and encourage them to take their interest further. 

Background

We have run the tournament for many years, the current PE Teacher is very passionate about sport and expanded the tournament to include as many schools as possible from the local community regardless of whether independent or state run.

Resources

Our school is small , we only have two courts but we make the most of our facilities, the organisation by the PE Teacher ensured that all teams were involved as often as possible and involved all visiting PE Teachers to play a part in the running of the event. Ten teams were on site for the 2 hour competition with refreshments and awards distributed at the end. All received medals for taking part. The event was self-funded, no charges were levied on the visiting schools.

Impact

General feedback received from other schools

Pupil Involvement

This was a girls tournament for years 5 and 6 pupils, aged 10/11

Frequency

A traditional Annual event, we will be continuing to run this in future years.
