Welcome to Boothville Primary Sports Blog 2024-2025
We believe that it is important for children to take part in a range of both competitive and non-competitive sports and for everyone to be able to achieve their own personal goals. Through competition and challenge we want pupils to be able to celebrate the occasions when they are successful, whilst realising that teamwork and fair play has a key role to play in not only the sporting world but also their own lives.
Children are encouraged to take part in extracurricular sessions, Sports Leader lead games, kids marathon, school house competitions or sports clubs. Before and after school sports clubs run every day and are led by sports coaches, where we encourage and support children to become involved. As well as these opportunities, Boothville take part in competitions and Festivals against other schools in the local area. This allows the children the opportunity to put skills learnt during lessons or at our after-school clubs into practise and also gives them the opportunity to make links with outside clubs in the local area.
We work closely with Northamptnshire Sport , Northampton Saints, M.A.B Academy Gymnastics and Pacesetters to allow our children to develop skills in individual sports and pathways to clubs outside of school.
The year 5 children started our house Football competition on Friday 4th October. Thankfully the rain held off and the children showed off their silky skills and some excellent team work. Well done to all the children and special mention to Joshua W and Carlton who won our shining star awards. The final league placing were in 4th place Griffin, 3rd place Pegasus, 2nd place Dragons and the winners were Phoenix winning all 3 of their matches.
On Wednesday 16th October, the Yr 5/6 Girls Football team took part in the NSport Town cup competition at Moulton College. The Girls have been working hard and have had a few fixtures preparing for this competition. They played really well showing good teamwork, winning four and drawing one of their group games. In the final they played another strong school, Upton Meadows. Lots of excellent play from both teams, the game finished 1-1. The teams could not be separated after extra time, so it went to penalties. After 5 penalties each still all equal. It then went to sudden death penalties and on the 7th penalty we scored and they missed. We now qualify for the County Finals on Monday 27th January. Well done to Bella, Neve, Amira, Hope, Ellie, Renae and Melanie from Year 6, and Aoife from Year 5.
