Schools called to give children more choice in sport by Handball coach

Local schools across the region being urged to further opportunities for young people by engaging with different, more inclusive sports – as girls in particular ask for more choice and more playing time as part of PE.

During National School Sports Week (June 17-23), efforts to tackle inactivity levels are seeing sports that offer more inclusive routes to play grow for PE teachers and school-age sports coaches, to ensure children aren’t left behind because they can’t engage with the mainstream sports.
