OAT Games - Road to Rio 2016

Last Monday (11^th July 2016) was the inaugural OAT School Games – Road to Rio. We took over 90 pupils from year 7-10 to compete in a range of events, including:
futsal, touch rugby, wheelchair basketball, handball, netball and athletics.

After the 2 hour journey to Stoke-on-Trent we arrived and met the 6 other Ormiston academies who also took part in the games. Each academy represented a country and began the games with a dance off; our nation was Spain.

Well done to the girls who took part in the dance-off!

Oli Yarnold, winner of the English sports day oath competition, read out his oath in front of all the 700 competitors and was selected to carry the Olympic torch around the track. His oath read: 

Picture: Oli Yarnold

‘On behalf of all the competitors here today, I promise to respect and not discriminate against the other participants in a race. It’s not all about winning it’s the taking part that counts. No matter your ability try your best. We will have sportsmanship and congratulate the winners and losers’

During the day our pupils competed in a number of sporting activities and did exceptionally well in a lot of the events. We were victorious in many events, including: the girl’s athletics and netball, the boy’s handball and even the tug-of-war.

The scores were added up and we missed out on 1^st place by 1 point!!

Well done to the event organisers, the Ormiston Academies, the young leaders and the competitors.

A great day had by all! We'll look forward to the next event.

Girls' rugby opportunities

 A 'pitch Up and Play' event is happening at Greyhound RFC on Sunday 20^th March, 1:30pm start. This is an informal-styled event where players can literally, just ‘pitch up to play’

We’ll also be doing our best to cater for all formats of the game so if a player likes the thought of rugby but not necessarily the contact side, we will be running some touch rugby games (non-contact). For those that have enjoyed tackling, we will obviously be able to coach this aspect of the game too. There will also be an introductory session for those that have never tried contact but would like to give it a go!

For more information please speak to a member of the PE staff.
