Students 2008
Congratulations to Lee Woosley and Kathryn Mooney on successfully completing the National Step into Sport Programme.
Below Lee and Kathryn are presented with their Step into Sport rewards.
Lee and Kathryn have achieved a combined total of over 350 voluntary hours at the local Grimsby & Alexandra Swimming Club by assisting with junior coaching sessions on various evenings. On completing the programme Lee said;
"I would definitely recommend the Step into Sport programme, because it allows young people to develop their skills and confidence, gain qualifications, and rewards them for volunteering in their chosen sport."
Val Rowell from the above club commented on the GiV & Step into Sport schemes;
'Several of our teenagers are involved with one or other of the above initiatives. We wanted to be able to provide them with a scheme which would formalise their volunteering, and therefore their relationship with the Club & us, tangibly reward them for the time and commitment they give, rather than just the 'Thank you' they get each week, and we wanted a scheme which would provide mutual benefits.
Our teenagers have shown increased maturity, responsibility, self-confidence and independence. They have a sense of 'ownership' and have become much more involved, not only in helping on a Club night, but also in organisation - some are on our Committee, in which they take a full role - and in extra activities which are run from time to time'
