Event Delivery
2008 – 2012 is an important time for sport and physical activity in
Wigan. Wigan Sports Development is getting set for 2012 and Events
Delivery Officer Craig Anthony will be offering a range of Olympiad
opportunities for young people to Get Active. A range of community based
competitions will run throughout the Cultural Olympiad offering young
people from a variety of backgrounds the opportunity to compete against
their peers from other areas of the borough.
In partnership with the School Sports Partnership Wigan SDU will
continue to host the East and West Primary Schools Festivals aiming to
strengthen school to club links and provide a sporting celebration as a
culmination of year round Mini-Festivals hosted by School Sports
Coordinators for all 115 Primary Schools. A Sports Club Road Show will
be touring the borough in the coming months, targeting school sports
days and non-sporting events and venues, giving young people the chance
to try new sports, enter competitions and join sports clubs.
Celebrating the 20th Anniversary of the Greater Manchester Youth Games,
Wigan will be holding a training camp weekend to build team spirit in
lead up to the event and provide top quality coaching to develop both
coaches and participants. This summer sees the start of the 2008-2012
Cultural Olympiad and to celebrate that fact, as part of Wigan Sports
Developments Summer Holiday Sports Camps, there will be summer festivals
held on the East and West of the borough. Incorporating a range of
events the summer festivals will be a celebration of sport and culture.
