West Ham United Football
Club will host a second Premier League 4 Sport judo competition
at Royal Docks Community School on Thursday 18 November.
After a highly-successful
maiden competition in May, which was also hosted by Royal Docks
School, the Premiership outfit will see seven school’s square
off on the mat next month.
Hosts Royal Docks will
be joined by Cumberland School, Jo Richardson Community School,
Eastbury Comprehensive and Sydney Russell Comprehensive School
along with Langdon and St Angela’s Ursuline School.
The Premier League 4 Sport
programme sees each top-flight side create four satellite sports
clubs which offer judo, badminton, table tennis and volleyball.
British Judo’s East London
Development Coach Nicole Nunn has coached many of the young players
through the Premier League 4 Sport programme and is tasked with
staging the event.
“I am co-ordinating the
event as I coach most of the children through the PL4S scheme,”
said Nunn.
“All the players are excited
at the prospect of trying out their new skills against another
school. I am also hoping to introduce the players to the local
club coaches to help children make the transition into clubs.
“I think that the competition
is an important part of our sport as we saw our numbers increase
after our initial event. It’s important to show the participants
of the PL4S scheme as many sides to our sport as possible.”
