YOUR CHANCE TO HELP TCHOUKBALL WIN £50,000

Date: 18 March 2008

 

Supporters of tchoukball can now help the sport win £50,000 for school and community sport – simply by voting online.

 

The Tchoukball Association of Great Britain (TAGB) has nominated its brand new development project ‘New Year New Sport’ to win the 2008 Norwich Union Community Sports Fund. By registering your vote, you can help us achieve our goal.

 

New Year New Sport was launched in September 2007 and is being delivered through partnerships between the Tchoukball Association of Great Britain, Suffolk Sport, Active Norfolk and Sport Hampshire & IOW. This is only the first year of our exciting project and in future years we will be expanding throughout the UK.

 

Hundreds of children and teachers have already experienced tchoukball through the project and we have only just begun! We are providing free demonstrations and teacher training sessions in schools and colleges throughout the year. We are also supporting end of year competitions at each of the areas’ Youth Games.

 

So why is tchoukball such an ideal school sport? Three main reasons: it is athletic, non-contact and inclusive. It offers an energetic and healthy activity in which boys and girls can play together and, being new, sets a level playing field for everyone. Tchoukball is open people of all abilities – whether you want to play for fun or compete at the highest level.

 

Winning the £50,000 gold award would buy the essential equipment for hundreds of schools in the project and provide young people in every area with an exciting and brand new way to keep fit and meet new people. It would give them the means to train to compete in national school competitions and build towards representing their country in tchoukball.
