Game ready, game on! What a fantastic way to start the week at the Croydon SSP & Panathlon KS1 & KS2 Ten Pin Bowling Competition! 25 schools 25 lanes 2 brilliant sessions Hundreds of smiles Hosted at Valley Park Leisure Complex, the day was full of excitement, laughter and celebration. For many children it was their first time visiting a leisure centre or trying bowling, making every strike, spare and cheer even more special! Ten-pin bowling is a brilliant inclusive sport, with ramps, bumpers and different ball weights helping every child take part, build confidence and enjoy success at their own level. Due to its predictability, the activity can be soothing for children with autism or anxiety. It improves hand-eye coordination, balance, and muscle strength. It builds confidence, self-esteem, and provides opportunities to practice social skills and turn-taking. Combined with our Play. Chill. Heal. Warm-Up & Recovery Zone, it fully supports young people with Special Educational Needs to be active, enjoy themselves, perform to the best of their abilities, and feel safe both physically and mentally. Huge thank you to Harry from The Panathlon Foundation for your expertise, enthusiasm and support. Well done to all the schools who took part and congratulations to our winners - Howard @howard.primary.school and Regina Coeli @reginacoelicatholicprimary #InclusiveSport #Panathlon #SchoolSport #TenPinBowling #przewrótwprzód @bk21_medconcept @hellostormbreak @hyperice @youthsporttrust @yourschoolgames @panathlonchallenge @olivierjaniak @gqpoland
