Bethwin FC players joined young people from the neighbouring Southwark Tigers Rugby Club and Southwark City Tennis Club to try their hand at new sports.

The two-day event attracted over 100 young people throughout the day who played rugby and tennis on the astroturf pitch, before an afternoon of football skills and mini-soccer.

Karima El Hajoui, Deputy Programme Manager at Greenhouse Bethwin FC, said: “It’s fantastic that all three clubs who use Burgess Park were able to come together and organise this event.

“Many of our young players had a go at playing rugby and tennis for the first time and really enjoyed it, plus many of the other club players stayed and showed us their best football skills in the afternoon.”

She added: “I hope this event will be the start of a long-term partnership with our neighbouring sports clubs that will benefit everyone living around Burgess Park.”

The event was funded by a grant from Southwark Council as part of ‘Give it a Go 2012’, a London wide campaign to get more people playing sport in their area.

Neal Meyer, a coach whose illustrious National Basketball Association career includes stints at the Los Angeles Clippers, Denver Nuggets and San Antonio Spurs headed a special training day in south London.

Over 60 players gathered at Stockwell Park High School including players from four other Greenhouse schools; Pimlico Academy, Norwood School, Bacon’s Academy and Lilian Baylis.

If any Greenhouse players came into the morning thinking that life in the NBA was all slam-dunks and sports-drink endorsements, the intensive introductory session was quick to correct them.

“To be successful on court you can’t take short cuts”Neil said, and nobody missed his point after a morning of high-speed skills and fitness work.

In the afternoon, the Greenhouse players were back on court for matches, with mixed teams so students from different schools competed as team-mates.

Jenny Ridgway, Greenhouse Coach at Stockwell Park, said: “It was great to see young people from different schools, different parts of London, coming together and working well with each other.”

“They all really enjoyed the day. And of course, it was fantastic opportunity to work with someone who has seen the game at its highest level.”

Five students from Swiss Cottage Special Educational Needs School tested out their sea legs aboard ‘Pegasus’ a 74-foot schooner moored in Plymouth.

It was most of the Key Stage Four pupils’ first time at sea, but despite facing some choppy conditions and the unfamiliarity of life on water, the group adapted well and enjoyed a memorable trip.

With the help of the Pegasus crew the young people learnt some of the basics of sea-faring, from coiling ropes and tidying the deck, to raising the sails and steering the ship at the helm.

By the end of the week the trainee crew had it in mind to set sail for France. Time-constraints put any such ambitions on hold, but the students did spend the last night of their trip anchored at sea, travelling to shore the next morning by dinghy.

Carly Lovejoy, Head Greenhouse Coach at Swiss Cottage, who spent the week on board with her students, said she was thrilled with their achievements.

She said: “It’s not easy living on a boat for a week, but our students rose to the challenge and learnt a lot about themselves and their friends.”

“Throughout the week the group showed a level of determination and resilience that really impressed me.”

Greenhouse runs a mutlisports programme at Swiss Cottage which offers pupils familiar sports such as football, swimming, trampolining, athletics and cheerleading alongside rebound therapy and hydrotherapy.
