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.

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
