Sporting Futures Coaches really are
the cream....
Double
congratulations go to Oliver Hooper, Chesterfield Volunteer Coach.
Oliver
has won runner-up Connexions Derbyshire Limited Young Sports
Leader/Young Coach of the Year category at the Derbyshire Sports
Awards.
And not to stop at that, Oliver has also recently been awarded the
Young Sports
Leader/Young Coach of the Year 2008 at Chesterfield Town Hall.
Oliver
volunteers regularly for Sporting Futures, taking an active role within
the organisation, particularly during half-terms. Oliver coaches a wide
variety of sessions, at venues such as Eastwood Park (Hasland), St
Augustines Church (Birdholme), and Stand Road (Newbold). Oliver coaches
a variety of sports, including football, basketball and multi-sports
sessions. Throughout the summer Oliver has been volunteering around 20
hours per week. His committed and professional approach means he has
earned the respect of a number of children who don't give respect
easily. In the past year he has completed over 500 volunteering hours
in various settings. He holds Level 1 NGB qualifications in volleyball,
cricket, boccia, handball and cheerleading. He has taken a highly
active role within the Sportsability Club held weekly at Brookfield
Community School. He was recently appointed as a Chesterfield Young
Sports Ambassador.
Capital
One Team Challenge runners go that extra mile
Capitol One team and Sporting Futures
Volunteers with the donated Mizuno kit
A generous Capital One 10K race team decided that their winnings from
the Mizuno fundraiser competition, £500 worth of Mizuno
running
shoes and t Shirts should, in fact, be given back to Sporting
Futures!
We are delighted with their donation, which has been added to the
spectacular amount they raised via JustGiving of over £1200!
The Capital One team are now in training for the 2009 event, we wish
them success.
We would also like to sincerely thank Julian Moorhouse and the Mizuno
team for their continued support with the race.
