October 2005 Fortnight of Action - Action Reports

Pollokshaws Settlement and Integration Network

The Network applied for resources to run sports taster sessions during the October school holiday week. We offered rugby, cricket, football and hip hop dancing.

Most popular, surprise, surprise, was the football. Between 10 and 25 boys turned out at the local kickabout pitch each evening. Some lads were more than a little surprised to learn that yes, this woman is a 'real' football coach!

The cricket (thanks to Pollock Cricket Club) and the hip hop dancing each attracted around 10 young people to their sessions. Unfortunately we failed to ignite any interest in the rugby, but thanks to Cartha Queens Park for offering the opportunity.
