| Olympiad Calendar - Whats Your Game? |
|
Wigan Sports Development will be organising a host of sports specific activities to celebrate a different sport through each month of 2010. Wigan’s Olympiad Calendar will dedicate a month of the year to a particular sport, challenging the local clubs to work together in partnership to raise the profile of that particular sport in Wigan . Each month will feature an event or festival to celebrate the work the sport does in the local community, organised and led by the development group for that sport.
The year long calendar is a multi-sport project supporting grass root participation and celebrating sport in Wigan . The project is inspired by the London 2012 Olympics by bringing together different community partners to allow the whole of Wigan to celebrate a sport whilst promoting healthy competition amongst its competitors.
The project recognises the excellent work that the local clubs are doing in the local community and encourages them to work together in development groups. By encouraging the clubs to work together it is hoped that the clubs will garner respect, understanding and friendship for each other. The aim of the month for each sport is to use the support offered to deliver an inspirational month to all.
The launch of the 'What's Your Game' Calendar has received the prestigious Inspire Mark linking it to the 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games.
