Skatepark fun in SPAR Lancashire School Games
Tricks and flips were on show as 240 children from 30 East Lancashire schools enjoyed a day through SPAR
Primary and secondary aged children from Blackburn with Darwen, Burnley, Hyndburn, Pendle, and Rossendale schools were involved in the action-packed sessions held over two days at the specialist venue.
Children were able to make the most of the indoor and outdoor facilities wearing brand new SPAR Lancashire School Games T-shirts thanks to the recently announced sponsorship agreement with education specialist recruitment agency Spencer Clarke Group. Under the watchful eye of trained professionals and under warm sunshine, the children shone brightly learning new skills and developing confidence on a combination of two and four wheels.
“It has been a great experience. I really liked the BMXing best as I love riding my bike," said Oliver Lax, age 10, from Shadsworth Junior School. "These were proper BMX bikes, and it was good to learn how to ride them best and how to stand up on them.”
