Building a Culture of Active Play and Teamwork
Who Are Our Sports Ambassadors?
Sports Ambassadors are a team of enthusiastic and active pupils who begin their journey in Year 5. They receive special training to develop leadership, teamwork, and communication skills while promoting fun, inclusive physical activities during playtimes and lunchtimes.
What Do They Do?

- Build Confidence: Encourage participation and help pupils develop social skills, resilience, and a love for being active.
- Lead by Example: Act as role models, demonstrating fairness, respect, and teamwork while supporting younger pupils.

2) Line the children up in pairs facing each other.
3) Number each pair.
4) The leader will call a number. When called the children will run in and out of the other children, then back to their place.
5) A point is given to the first person in the pair that gets back to their place.
