The Irish Tug of War Association has recently partnered up with Active School Flag (ASF) initiative.
As part of this collaboration, they have been running a school development program in participating schools around the country.
Today we had a visit from Cathy Sheerin who gave us a demonstration on how to pull tug of war. After the demonstration she presented the school with a junior rope to use with the children in our own time.
Tug of war is a non-contact sport where team work is far more important than any one individual and where every member of the team is equal. It is a fun and accessible team sport for children of all ages and abilities. It was great to introduce the children to an exciting new sport while they are at an age where they are trying out new sports and hobbies.
