Sports Slam kicks off from the 3rd May 2022, and can last as long as you like, however the competition window is one month, so we suggest getting involved as soon as possible if you plan to enter the competition too. See below for more information, but we need all entries submitted by the 27th May.
Here are the key dates to mark in your diaries:
One teacher per school is perfect. You only need to sign up once to receive all that Sports Slam has to offer.
If you’re one of the lucky 1,500 schools to sign up first, a kit pack is supplied for approximately 60 children to take part, at any one time.
For later sign ups, or more printed materials, you’ll need a printer, a big space for the activities, and your school’s current equipment. You’ll also receive a 20% discount to buy additional kit from Sports Directory, if needed, to partake in Sports Slam.
Then, depending on your school’s structure, you may find having a teaching assistant on hand can support you in the lessons.
All lesson plans to take the classes will be available to download in your account area on the Sports Slam website.
Sport Slam is all about showcasing the joy of sport to children. So there is no entry fee and no purchase necessary to the programme.
The first 1,500 schools to sign up will receive a Sports Slam kit bag filled with sports equipment for the school, exciting Lesson Plans and Activity Sheets. There will also be Sports Slam Passports, enough for up to 60 children, to help them find their new favourite sport.
If you aren’t able to sign up that fast, don’t worry. We are also supplying digital downloads of the Lesson Plans and Passports, alongside a 20% discount voucher for Sports Directory to go towards any necessary new equipment.
That’s not all. All children who complete Sports Slam can take their printed Passport to their local Sports Direct and get a 20% discount on any equipment they want to use at home. They will have to have an adult with them, and the discount is only available to use once.
We will email all schools who were one of the first 1,500 to sign up, so keep an eye on your inbox, and of course, your junk mail.
If you are successful, this email will also contain information on when you will receive your kit packs.
We have a few amazing opportunities for your school to win by submitting your best efforts.
Create Your Own Sport! The best new sport will win £5,000 of Sports Directory vouchers for their school. And the next 10 runners up, will win £1,000 of Sports Directory vouchers for their school. That’s a lot of new equipment that can help children along their sporting journey. Encourage your children to be as creative as possible!
All runners up will receive a 20% discount voucher to Sports Directory for taking part, so every school will take away a prize.
