I would like to invite your school to enter the LHSSN Year 3/4 Sportshall Athletics League at Lancaster and Morecambe College commencing on Thursday 30th January, prompt arrival for 16.00 start and approx. 17.15 finish each week. We envisage each school would be involved in between 2-4 sessions each. Exact fixtures will be sent out once we know which schools are entering. The event will be delivered by Barry for LHSSN.

School teams should consist of a minimum of 8 girls and 8 boys. They may compete in a maximum of 2 track and 2 field events per night. The definitive format will be dependent upon the number of entries. However, in order to maximise competition and reduce both transport needs and volunteer numbers, an event based programme is possible with teams participating in 5 events per week (with the likelihood of the full event programme being held over 2 weeks). All events will be team based with relay races and combined field event scores. Each week will combine 2 running events, 2 jumps and a throwing event.

30th January will be a practice session with league fixtures; 6/2/25; 27/2/25; 6/3/25; 13/3/25, 20/3/25. Please tick the boxes in the table below for which sessions you can/cannot attend and Barry will try to accommodate you in the fixtures; send to barryrobson07@gmail.com

SSN Go Go GLOW Dodgeball!

Dear PE Co-ordinator,
We would like to invite your school to enter the Lancaster & Heysham SSN
4/5/6/7 GLOW DODGEBALL FESTIVAL!
This event is scheduled at LANCASTER UNIVERSITY (not University of Cumbria),
on 5th December 2023 9.45-11.30
The event is back and big… in the double sportshall… in the dark!

Teams: 8 on court, Squads of 8- 10, Years 4/5/6/7.
Primary- no minimum ratio of boy/girls, secondary may be boys, girls or mixed from year 7 only.
Schools may bring 1 team and request others but last time it was full very quickly. We have a max number of 32 teams.

This is a fun based event and we will be asking pupils to display honesty. Those not playing a game will officiate their own games. It is not about winning and losing- we simply want a group of pupils to come along and have fun being active, work as a team and be with their friends and be at a bigger event again. Because of the darkened setting it has been shown to be particular good for pupils who may be more self-conscious than others.

Glow dodgeball takes place in a darkened room with ultraviolet lights that cause balls and players equipment to glow! It’s something a little different- hopefully you can pick a ‘different’ group of pupils. Secondary schools- we’d encourage you to consider choosing pupils who have possibly struggled with transition but would benefit from a fun session with peers.

There will not be an overall winner. Instead we will reward schools on ‘The Spirit of the Games’ values which are Determination, Honesty, Teamwork, Passion, and Self Belief. Hopefully it’s an opportunity for you to pick a targeted group of pupils of your choice. On your feedback forms you suggested transition was a potential issue we hope this will help… Last year we had several Year 7 Heads of Year attend with their teams and found that very useful in building relationships; and lastly, pupil health and wellbeing has been mentioned, this is a chance to have fun, be active and work as a team! Pupils not playing will also have a chance to officiate. Please dress up in your best fluorescent clothing!! For some pictures of our previous Glow event see our social media at @LHschoolsport https://www.facebook.com/LHschoolsport

Coaches can drop off at the side of the sports centre and park on the hashed areas on that side road- please let us know how you plan to travel up prior to the day. See the map below. There is also additional overflow car parking at the side of the sports centre- 2 hours of parking is free, if you arrive too early you may require £3 for the machine- we hope this is not the case but just have it in case.

Event details are as follows:

No spectators.
Schools encouraged to bring some team members who may have a go at officiating- We want the session to be pupils coming together, working together, having fun being active. Teachers may be required to plug gaps but formats will be informal- it’s fun based!
Wear any luminous clothing and/or use UV pens to draw on old clothes. All those children of the 1990s- dig out your old glow sticks and wrist bands!! Fluorescent clothing and white work best. We will supply a limited amount of UV make up and glow sticks.

Teams of 8, squads up to 10 (teams may be mixed but there are not set criteria/ratios).
Date: 5th December; 9.45-11.30
Venue: Lancaster University Sports Centre
Please don’t arrive more than 15 minutes before the start & be ready in your finest UV/glow gear!
1 – but you may request a 2nd team, 1st come first served.
