Across schools in Dundee, Active Schools provide extra-curricular activities for children in primary and secondary schools. Focusing on sports and physical activity this can be children’s first experience of sports.
With a focus on getting the inactive active, we are keen to provide more children with the opportunity to play basketball within the Grove Academy Primary Cluster (Eastern PS, Barnhill PS, Craigebarns PS, or Forthill PS).
We are looking for keen coaches to deliver sessions of basketball.
The projects main philosophy has been to create opportunities for children and young people from Dundee’s most deprived areas to participate in physical activity and sport, along with using sport as a tool to raise attainment levels, increase employability prospects and reduce anti-social behaviour levels. The team delivers 6 main programmes; Participation Programme, Diversionary Programme, Learn Thru Sport Programme, Springboard Programme, Volunteer Development Programme and Holiday Programme.
