West Yorkshire Sport host Mega Sport Makers convention

500 new recruits attend the biggest Sport Maker workshop to date in Leeds.

January saw another first for Sport Makers with 500 new recruits attending the biggest Sport Maker workshop held in the country organised by West Yorkshire Sport in Leeds.

The students from across the College’s five campuses gathered at John Charles Centre for Sport, Leeds inspired by top level athletes; Sport Maker ambassadors, swimmer Adam Whitehead (Sydney 2000), runner Daniel Caines (World Silver Medalist 400m) and diver Oliver Dingley (European Junior Championships 1m Springboard 2010 GOLD).

The Sport Maker ambassadors supported them as they gained skills on how to deliver sporting opportunities through a series of informal and interactive workshops. The Deployment Depot gave the Sport Makers a chance to meet governing bodies of 11 sports, clubs, volunteer centres and facilities and find out how they can boost grassroots sport.

West Yorkshire Sport have now signed up 1,000 Sport Makers to deliver at least 10 hours of grassroots sport either with friends, family and colleagues or help clubs and events attract more people.

Nigel Harrison, Director of West Yorkshire Sport said: “This is your chance to get involved with the Olympics. Do something special in this most exciting of years by encouraging others to take up more sport. Make this a memorable year - be part of something truly global.”
