Tigers offer to local schools
PRIMARY schools across Leicestershire can benefit from the support of the Leicester Tigers community team as part of three-week ‘back to school’ programme.
With schools scheduled to open from March 8 following the latest government lockdown update, teachers will be facing a number of challenges as they continue to work hard to get school life back to normal for thousands of youngsters across the area.
With the support of club partner Nottingham Building Society, the club’s community coaches will be offering their services across all primary school ages over this challenging period to help support children’s integration back into school life with fun physical activity & education sessions throughout the day and even after school.
Simply send in your school’s request and interest to the club’s community email below and the team will do their best to accommodate within its resources.
Some ideas with how Tigers community can help include: • Running morning, lunch and afterschool sport sessions • Supporting pupils with
the ‘Active Mile’ programme
• Full-day – multiple classes Tag Fun and Games
• Multi-sport programmes
• A visit by club mascot
Welford • Get involved with the full six-week Nottingham Building Society Tag programme
The Nottingham Building Society Tag programme has been an ever-present part of Year 3 and 4 pupils schooling over the past few years, hosting festivals following five weeks of lessons within schools across the county.
Additional classroom sessions are based around the topic of ‘money management’ and financial awareness as the club continuing to offer this programme for the period to Easter.
All Leicester Tigers community coaches follow Rugby Football Union (RFU)
best practice guidelines in regards to Covid-19 and will work within your school’s specific Covid-19 protocols to minimise any risk.
