YR3/4 & 5/6 GIRLS FOOTBALL COMPETITION 2023
On 14th November 2023 we held our Yr3/4 & 5/6 Girls Football Competition. This was a Compete themed event and was for pupils who enjoy competition. All Pupils received a participant certificate and the school games value celebrated for this event was Respect. All children were encouraged to display the school games values and fair play but each team nominated one pupil from their school who stood out the most for showing Respect School Games Value.
We had the following 17 schools/29 teams attend our event:
- Astley
- Bawburgh
- Bawdeswell
- Cawston
- Costessey
- Dereham Jnr
- Drayton Jnr
- Firside
- Garvestone
- Kinsale Jnr
- Langley Prep
- Lyng
- Queen's Hill
- Reepham
- Scarning
- Taverham Jnr
- Toftwood Jnr
DESA sports leaders helped run the competition, who were brilliant at supporting and encouraging the children to do their personal best. It was great to see 217 girls involved in running and a great opportunity for the pupils to represent their school in a sports event. Following on from todays event, we encourage schools to provide the children an opportunity to develop and improve their football skills further by putting on clubs and encouraging the pupils to join a local community club to promote/grow girls football wider in Norfolk.
