Kick-off for Frökne School IF sports club
At nordöstra Skåne’s sports gala (north-east Skåne’s sports gala) Frökne School sports club was awarded the prize for the most including club. Kb Mosaik wrote about it in the last issue.
The club has a timetable for every weekday, with football, basketball, dance, table-tennis and badminton, to name a few of the options. On a single afternoon there can be up to 100 young people taking part.
”There is a lot of talent hereabouts”
All 540 pupils at the school are members. At the same time the club can reach a new target-group and help them find a way into other sports clubs.
– We’re like a trampoline, says PE teacher Daniel Nilsson.
Daniel Nilsson is PE teacher at Fröknegårdskolan and project leader for Frökne School IF.
As leader for the project he plays an important part.
– Staffan Berlin and Skåneidrotten have been of great help.
There are not many active clubs in Näsby. Frökne School IF is trying to get some help from clubs in the municipality. KFUM (YMCA) Basket and Kristianstad FC are on their way in.
– I’ve spoken to Åhus Friidrott (athletics club) about co-operating. There is a lot of talent hereabouts, says Daniel Nilsson.
No handball?
– IFK used to have that, but it has been disbanded. Our idea is to start it up again, says Ivana Ilic, who plays handball for Karlshamn.
This afternoon it’s girls’ day. An hour’s football is on the timetable.
”it’s a good move to invest money in sports in our most vulnerable areas.”
– Football and badminton are the most popular activities among the girls, says Ivana Ilic. She is a substitute teacher at the school, and is responsible for the ”girls’ day”.
– It’s ideal having an afternoon that’s reserved for girls. They get some exercise and they get to know pupils from other classes.
For a lot of pupils ”girls’ day” is the only exercise they get all week.
– Not many of the girls go in for sports in their leisure time. But we hope to get them interested.
How many girls usually come here?
– Between 25 and 30, but we’ve room for more. I wish more girls from class 8 and class 9 would find their way here, says Ivana Ilic.
After an hour’s football it’s time for a snack, which is just as popular as the football.
– Ha,ha, it certainly is. It’s a good way to round off the school day, says Daniel Nilsson.
He is proud of the award that the club received at north-east Skåne’s sports gala.
– It’s always nice to get a bit of attention. I hope it can make the politicians realise that it’s a good move to invest money in sports in our most vulnerable areas.
