Metice Sponsor West Bradford School Sports Partnership

Metice have agreed a sponsorship deal with the Heaton Tennis & Squash Club and the West Bradford Schools Sports Partnership for their sports initiative. The scheme is running for four weeks in five inner city primary schools all located in the Manningham area of Bradford giving many of the 200 + pupils their first ever experience of racket sports.

Head coach Simon Parke (former World number 3 and England number 1) leads the coaching programme from the Heaton club which is a non profit making community based members club. The scheme will culminate in a sports festival on Valentines day Tuesday 14th February when representatives from each of the schools will visit the club and play a mini sports tournament.

“The sponsorship from Metice is invaluable and will ensure that for most of the children they will experience some racket sport for the very first time, hopefully it will entice a number of them to the Heaton club to continue playing under the club’s coaching programme”

Heather Taylor, Competition Manager for the West Bradford Schools Partnership

“We are delighted to sponsor this initiative and offer these children the opportunity to participate in a sports tournament and hopefully encourage them to take up a sporting pastime leading to a healthy lifestyle”
