As a new WHSB pupil you will have access to some ‘Pre-Season’ training in both rugby and basketball.  These are two new sports for an overwhelming majority of pupils.  Everyone is invited to attend and try these new sports.    These sessions which will run on Friday afternoons and Saturday mornings during the summer term and there will be provision for parents to stay during this time. 

This is a brilliant opportunity for pupils to meet members of their year group in a sporting environment which is one that will become very familiar as they move through WHSB.  Sport is an important aspect of the WHSB experience.  This opportunity to experience it earlier is one that students would thoroughly enjoy and benefit from.

Basketball – Fridays - 4.00pm - 5.00pm

These sessions will be held indoors and will require trainers, white socks, shorts and a T-shirt.

Rugby – Saturdays – 9am - 10am

These sessions will be outside and will require trainers, or moulded boots, long socks (suitable for rugby or football), shorts and a T-shirt, or rugby top if he has one.

These sessions will focus on learning and practising new skills in the environment that they are going to experience at WHSB.

Sport is a great tool for young people to meet new people and gain, or improve their confidence and learn new skills and values that can be applied across all aspects of their life.  I hope to see many new Westcliffians at these sessions to begin their sporting journey through this fantastic school.
