The Leisure Development team works closely with the districts schools to help promote sport.

After school clubs are offered to schools in various sports. All clubs are led by qualified coaches with a link to local clubs to help to create player pathways and school to club links within the district.

Primary and Junior school festivals are organised to create an opportunity for schools to compete against each other. The main festivals are High 5s Netball that are held in both the Autumn and Spring. The festivals have become so popular that they have to be split over three days for small, medium and large schools. 

Other projects with schools include help and support with multi sports days, multi intelligence days, health weeks and the Gifted and Talent scheme.

Support is also offered to teachers and pupils by setting up and running awareness courses and sports leader courses.
