Devised as an illustrative example of ‘triolectics’, Danish artist and philosopher Asger Jorn conceived of three-sided football in 1962. However, the game remained a purely abstract philosophical exercise until the early 1990s when a group of anarchists, architects and artists decided to play the game for the first time.

  • Submission from RLSB
    Submission from Pro-Active East London Dear Mr Berry, Thank you for the opportunity to provide a written contribution to the London Assembly’s Economy, Culture and Sport Committee review into how to increase participation of disabled people in sport and physical activity in London. I am the Director of Pro‐Active East London ‐ the East London based County Sport Partnership serving the ten boroughs of East London. Additionally, as part of the Sports Regeneration Framework (SRF) work, I act as the champion for disability sport across the 6 host boroughs and work with colleagues and partner organisations to improve provision for physical activity and sport across the board which includes work directly linked to disabled participants. It is in the role as ‘disability champion’ and Director of Pro‐Active East London that I provide this response. The committee has identified four key questions and for ease I have identified brief bulleted points under each of the questions. 1. What has been done since 2006 to improve the provision of sport and physical activity to disabled Londoners? a. Good progress has been made in the improvement of provision of sport and physical activity to disabled Londoners but we believe that much more can be done to drive improvement. b. The Olympic and Paralympic Games has made a significant difference in raising the profile of Paralympic sports locally and as such, we have seen more evidence of funding being given to disability sports projects and a higher profile of the sports that form part of the Paralympics. c. The increased profile and focus on East London has encouraged many National Governing Bodies (NGBs) who focus on disabled sport (for example Wheelchair Basketball) to work in the locality and as a consequence, has provided significantly more disability sport provision for East Londoners.

  • December Physical Activity Challenges
    December Physical Activity Challenges 11 Introduction Welcome to the Islington Healthy Schools Physical Education, School Sport and Physical Activity teams' (PESSPA) Physical Activity Advent Calendar! The calendar offers children different physical activities to do throughout the advent calendar month of December. Some of the activities can be done by the children in the playground, some should be done in school time and there are also activities for the children to do at the weekends. The activities are varied and fun and there should be something for everyone, from the least to the most active. Feel free to do different activities to the ones in the calendar, the most important thing is that the children are active every day. Please encourage the children to use the calendar. You can print them and hang them in school and you can email them to parents. Encourage the children to do the activities that are both in and outside of school time and check with the children each day to see how they are getting on. You could give a certificate to any children that do ALL of the activities on the calendar, or talk about the children that have made the most progress with the activities and mention them in assemblies. Encourage the children to keep doing the activities during the school holidays and beyond. There is no reason why the teachers can’t join in with some of the activities too! We hope you have fun doing them and would love to hear about the how the children get on and would value your feedback on it.
