Sporting Students

Ben Lancaster shows children how to be a star at sports.

Students from the BTEC Level 2 Course in Sports at Doncaster College visited Maltby Crags Community School to help organise a sports event just before the summer break.

As part of the requirements of their course learners have to collaborate in the planning and delivery of a sports tournament or sporting event.

The students organised a matball and football tournament with the school children and an athletics event with a variety of track and field activities.

Mrs Hamilton, from the school said, “It was an excellent day for the children at our school. The learners from Doncaster College were professional in their delivery and attitude. We have worked with the College before and every year they exceed our expectation”.

Ben Lancaster, a learner on the Sports course at the College said, “I really enjoyed the experience as we put what we learnt into practice. It gave me an insight in what I need to do to work in sports coaching. The kids where brilliant as they did exactly what we asked them to do”.
