Dragon Sport

 

The Dragon Sport initiative aims to get primary school pupils active from a young age by encouraging greater numbers of seven to 11-year-olds to take part in extra-curricular sport.

 

Funded by the National Lottery, Dragon Sport is a Sports Council for Wales scheme which is run locally by the Vale Council’s Dragon Sport team.

 

It focuses on eight key sports –

Introduction to sport

By using appropriately sized equipment, Dragon Sport gives children a great introduction to those sports, hopefully sewing a seed for them to continue playing them for many years. The scheme also encourages children to sign up to the Chwarae Teg / Fair Play code of conduct.

 

Recruit volunteers

The flagship scheme also aims to recruit and train volunteers who wish to assist, set up or run clubs for youngsters.
