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 Sport Wales
scheme
which is run locally by the Vale Council’s Dragon Sport
team.
It focuses on eight key sports –
- Rugby
- Athletics
- Cricket
- Football
- Hockey
- Netball
- Tennis
- Golf
Introduction to sport
By using appropriately sized equipment, Dragon Sport gives
children a great introduction to those sports, hopefully sowing 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.
