Education, Sport and Culture Sports Development Annual Report 2011 w o m JMNERSEY e MIXEDnETBALL Introduction Last year, for the first time, a document was written to record the vast amount of work that is being done by many people to facilitate and support the development of activity across a range of sports and activity programmes for the benefit of many people in Jersey. It also informed the work programmes for 2011 and I am delighted that the second report demonstrates even more development and achievements. The following pages reflect the work carried out by officers directly employed by Education Sport and Culture as well as those employed by Governing Bodies who are supported with a grant from ESC. The aims, objectives and performance indicators for each person are different and reflect the needs of their particular area of activity. They are developed in consultation with ESC to ensure that they contribute to the objectives of the department and in turn the Strategic Objectives of the States of Jersey. By bringing this together in one report, I believe it clearly demonstrates the outstanding work being done by officers and others in their sports, and the significant effect that it is having on the quality of life of the many people who benefit from the efforts being made. Clearly, the work has also helped to raise the standard of performance in each area of delivery. This report does not record the excellent work that is done by countless volunteers who work in their sports without the assistance of a Development Officer. Their efforts deserve equal praise and also have a major impact on thousands of participants in the many activities on offer in Jersey each and every week. My thanks to all involved.

Junior membership increased by 17% and participation levels increased by 28%. In addition to successfully achieving short term aims and objectives, six very good and enthusiastic coaches qualified to assistant coach level (second level), and athletics entered into a partnership with Santander (Private Banking) The junior section highlights were undoubtedly the successes of Shadine Duquemin and Stanley Livingston at both international and national level. Shadine won the Silver medal in the discus at the Youth Commonwealth Games to add to the Gold medals that she won in the same event at the English Schools Championships, the England age group Championships, the Island Games, the Southern Championships and the Hampshire championships. Stanley Livingston became the first Channel Islands track athlete to win a medal at the English Schools when he took the silver in the 400 meters. In addition Stanley’s impressive list of titles include, England Athletics U15 400m Champion, England Athletics U15 60m hurdles Champion, Southern U15 400m and 80m hurdles Champion, Hampshire U17 400m hurdles Champion,U15 400m and 80m hurdles Champion. The highlight of the year for the senior athletes was certainly the Nat West Island Games on the Isle of Wight. Zane and Shadine Duquemin each won double Gold in discus and shot. Simon Phelan took gold in the high jump. Our women’s 4 x 400m Relay team took gold and in the process broke the Games record. Zane Duquemin also had another outstanding year winning the British Universities Championships in both discus and shot, the England U23 championships and represented GB on numerous occasions. 2012 will be a year of many challenges however we will continually work hard to ensure athletics is a fully inclusive sport and not just for the financially well off. Important long term goals have been identified. With Jersey hosting the 2015 Island Games it is essential that Athletics begin preparations now. Many qualified officials and volunteer helpers will be required; therefore a programme has been drawn up to target potential key personnel. Officials tutors from the UK will be invited to run courses in Jersey for interested parties. The timescale for achieving the desired qualifications is three years. We may lack the qualifications and the finance but we do have enthusiasm and the skill potential.

Through the many partnerships that have been developed the department is able to use statistics, anecdotal evidence and referrals by relevant agencies to ensure its work reaches those groups that are ‘most at risk’. It is for these reasons that some projects may reach 4 young people, whereas other projects may engage 104. Overall what is important is the barriers to participation are removed and young people are able to contribute positively to their community. When delivering a programme of sport to a large number of people it is important that we are able to adapt to the challenges that may occur. In 2011 this was certainly the case during the school holidays which showed that more parents and guardians were struggling to meet the needs of their children due to the high costs that can be involved. As a result the department had to use its resources effectively to provide extra courses for longer time scales. Through a partnership with State Street we were also able to absorb the costs involved, and deliver the most comprehensive programme to date thus enabling many young people to access positive activity which would have not been possible in the past. Since 2006 the main focus of the Community and School Sports Department has been to promote social inclusion through sport and reduce the risk of anti social behaviour. It is therefore satisfying to report that the number of youth incidents reported to police has reduced each year and (as of 1st January 2012) has dropped by 58% (since 2006). There are, of course, many factors that can influence the levels of anti social behaviour however, the department has continually ensured that it increases the number of sports opportunities in ‘hotspot’ areas. The key goals for 2012 are to continue to deliver projects that are accessible, reliable and relevant while also ensuring that they reflect the diversity of young people’s needs. Although crime statistics may be much reduced in Jersey since we started, we must avoid complacency and keep ahead of any changes that we will face through the year.
