Up Climbing
dimi and the wonderful team at up climbing guernsey welcomed us to their new centre for a session in august 2019. 12 children from our classes embraced the challenge with determination and bravery with many of them climbing higher than i would have done! we look forward to partnering with up climbing again in the future.
The Fit Farm
former royal marine carl garton agreed to run a little champs army camp for us at his fit farm IN AUGUST 2019. the kids loved dressing up in army gear and facepaint to complete a specially designed ‘bootcamp’. flipping tyres, crawling under a camo net, rope pulls and an agility course put them through their paces! we hope to run another little champs army camp next summer.
Sailing Trust
We Are delighted to be working in partnership with the Guernsey Sailing Trust to give our Little Champs the amazing opportunity to try sailing on the model yacht pond. In the summer of 2018 we ran taster sessions for children aged 3-5yrs and, due to popular demand, we are following this up with a full block of sessions for children aged 4-5yr in Summer 2019, led for us by Clare Chapple.
GFA
What started as a couple of summer taster sessions for our Little Champs in 2018 has now become a formal partnership with the GUERNSEY FOOTBALL ASSOCIATION, delivering regular weekly sessions for children aged 2-5yr for the first time through the Association. We are very excited to be able to offer these classes with the GFA’s excellent, FA qualified coaches, Jordan and GuS.
GBA
GUERNSEY BADMINTON ASSOCIATION has become the ‘home’ of Little Champs, being the venue for all of our sessions. Matt Haynes, Badminton Development Officer, is keen to encourage new junior players into the ranks and what better way to do so than to work with Little Champs to offer badminton taster sessions. We ran two sessions in 2018 and are keen to run more moving forwards.
GVA
Jo and Gemma from Guernsey Volleyball Association gave our groups two introductory sessions to volleyball as part of our series of taster sessions in 2018. Another sport which would otherwise pass children by until they are much older, it was great to see them putting their skills from Little Champs to the test whilst also learning new skills. We look forward to working with the GVA again.
If you are interested in becoming a partner sport we want to hear from you!
