Badminton tournament sees Inspiration Trust schools swing into the third leg of new sports programme
Back
Friday 11th February saw us host our Badminton Tournament at UEA Sportspark which again provided a fabulous venue. This was the third instalment of our Whole Trust Sports Competition programme for the year, this time involving eight of our secondary schools.
The tournament involved 130 players from Years 7 - 10 and teams played in doubles on the 12 courts in a round-robin tournament, allowing plenty of competition and exciting matches. This round of the cross-trust competition met the principles of the initiative by encouraging teamwork and pride in students representing their schools. Badminton is a sport that welcomes all abilities, and therefore it was great to have so many students from across our family of schools enjoying competitive sport in a fantastic facility.
Whole Trust Sports Coordinator, Steve Adams said: The games were played in great spirit and all competitors were a credit to their school in terms of performance, effort and sportsmanship. My thanks go to the Year 9 Sports Leaders from Hethersett Academy who helped with the results collation on every court throughout the morning, they were excellent!
