Judene Edgar Competitive dodgeball, parkour, circus skills, sports photography and phone apps were just some of the pitches made by students in the Dragon’s Den-style session at Sport Tasman’s inaugural Youth Speak Sport Summit last Thursday. Over 30, Year 9 and 10 students attended the Summit which was aimed at gathering youth insights and perspectives around how to encourage youth in sport and active recreation. Sport Tasman’s Lesley McIntosh says a key aim of the Summit was for it “to be facilitated by young people for young people and enhance leadership skills in the younger generation, and give youth a voice”. Youth councillors from Murchison and Nelson helped organise the day and were on hand to mentor the students. The day included a series of workshops and talks on the themes of sport in school, club sport and community recreation. Teams worked together to choose the top six pitches with competitive dodgeball winning the day. The winning pitch was from Lochie Quigley from Nelson College and Louie Morris from Motueka High School. “Who doesn’t like throwing a ball at someone you don’t like”, says Lochie. Second prize went to Georgina Palmer from Waimea College and Chris Davis from Motueka High School for their ‘parkour park’ idea, third prize to Poppy Ellis and Elyse Hopkins from Golden Bay High School for their ‘circus skills in schools’ concept and a special prize to Milan Chapman and Lucy Chung for their app idea. “It was a really valuable learning activity for everyone involved”, says Lesley.
