Sport Edge

Sport Edge is a small business run by Alan Gormley from Fairfield in Worcestershire. Alan is dedicated to helping you enjoy and develop your sporting experience and provides sport and healthy eating coaching to preschools, primary schools, individuals and groups.

Alan runs various programmes one of which is 'Mini Sports' Mini Sports gives children the chance to enjoy a fun and interactive experience that shows how sport, food and drink play such an important role in developing a healthy lifestyle.

Mini Sports have two main offerings:

· Provision of sport sessions in schools, either during curriculum time or as After School Sport Clubs

· Provision of fun sport and nutrition themed sessions in Pre-school settings
Mini Sports already deliver sessions into schools and Pre-school settings in the Midlands

The Mini Sports programme gives children access to various sports and nutrition concepts under the guidance of fully qualified sport and nutrition coaches.

The all inclusive sessions will give children the chance to express themselves individually, develop their self-confidence and build on concepts such as teamwork and communication. The sessions will also allow children to create play and games opportunities for themselves.

Children will develop basic skills such as balance, agility, catching, throwing, kicking, jumping and running, linked to popular sport and games that they come into contact with in their daily lives. They will also develop key skills such as hand to eye co-ordination. This aligns to the FUNdamentals stage of the Long Term Athlete Development (LTAD) initiative.

Much of Alans work has been done in partnership with the Worcestershire Pre-school Learning Alliance.
