The Sport Makers programme, funded by the National Lottery, will recruit tens of thousands of new sports volunteers aged 16 years and over to organise and lead community sporting activities across the country.
Sport Makers are the people who directly make sport happen at the local level. Some Sport Makers will organise sport for themselves and their friends, colleagues and neighbours. Others won’t be taking part themselves, but will be doing all those other things that make the sporting activity possible.
Everyone who chooses to become a Sport Maker will be invited by their county sports partnership (CSP) to come to an inspiring workshop near to where they live or work. They will then be supported to find local opportunities that suit them to increase participation in sport.

There were over 300 competitors taking part in the event. They came from all over the world including Japan, USA, Russia, Georgia, Australia, Belgium and Ireland. 2 teams of 10 were preparing for this event under our instructor Scott. In order to participate in the competition they had to undertake fitness tests and attend squad trainings every last Saturday of the month in addition to regular trainings. The two teams were: SAUK team and Student Team. In the main team, SAUK team, we had 2 members from our Hallam Aikido Club- Maggie and Louise. Although no one from our teams managed to get to the finals, everyone did really well and put lot of effort in this competition- fighting with the best players from all over the world. It’s worth mentioning that some of our competitors got through quite a few rounds in some events that they were taking part in; the best example is Rob from the SAUK team that got into best 8 in the male individual randori.

It is a career best individual result for Gristwood who won a gold medal in the relay in 2008.
Gristwood’s winter training had been severely disrupted due to injury and illness but thanks to the support of the Sheffield Hallam TASS physiotherapists and support staff he was able to recover to full health and prepared well for the World Championships.
Gristwood said “The training and support at the Sheffield Centre of Excellence has really helped me develop as an athlete. The support of TASS, especially physiotherapy and strength and conditioning has made such a difference.”
Performance Director Gareth Candy said “TASS support makes such a difference for a sport like orienteering, we simply couldn’t provide the services to athletes which are made available through TASS and it makes a huge difference to our programme. TASS has played a major role in our medals at the Junior World Championships, World University Championships and now Graham Gristwoods 4th place at the World Championships.”

Sheffield Hallam University student, Cheyne Phillips, is preparing to jet off to Sarajevo for the 5th European Universities Sports Association (EUSA) Karate Championship. The Championship is set to take place from the 22nd to the 25th July, 2011.
Cheyne is a talented young sportsman, and has been supported by Sheffield Hallam University on the High Performance Hallam programme since he came to the University. High Performance Hallam is a programme which is committed to supporting sporting excellence amongst students. It aims to attract talented student athletes to study at the University, offering them support to balance university life and achieve their full sporting potential.
Having previously bagged medals at the British Universities and Colleges Sports Championships (BUCS), held in Sheffield in March 2010 and 2011, Cheyne is now looking to add medals from the EUSA Karate Championship to his collection.
Team Hallam has supported Cheyne throughout his time at Sheffield Hallam University, and is providing him with part of the funding required to attend the competition.
Cheyne’s mum Alison commented: “Cheyne has been working extremely hard to prepare for the Karate Championship, however having pulled a ligament in the build up to the competition, he hasn’t been able to train to the very best of his ability.”
“We are confident that Cheyne will go out and give it his best shot, and will be extremely proud of him whatever the outcome. His achievements to date are fantastic, and we will continue to support him every step of the way!”
