Coach Karl Brown at Shenton Primary School Leicester

Coach Karl Brown

Was great to be working with Coach Karl Brown, a legend in English basketball, on To the Hoop a transition workshop with Year 6 pupils in Leicester Schools. A collaboration between Leicester City Council Community Safety Team, Leicester City Council Raising Achievement Team, Leicestershire Police, the PCC and Leicester City Schools. The sessions use sport, performance art, philosophy for children and best practice PSHE and Citizenship education to explore going up to secondary school and specifically knife crime and the law of joint enterprise.

Half-Time Chatter

Before the match a burger and a programme are essentials.

Getting the burger and the programme mixed up would be a disaster.

A mouthful of the first eleven centrefold is unpalatable and no matter how strong your spectacles, making literary sense of a beef burger is nigh on impossible.

half-time chatter
a missed penalty
and a repeating gherkin

On the Green

they call for him
the slightly bigger boys

to ‘play out’
and ‘bring your ball’

out on the green
the big green by the main road

now you be careful
and don’t swing on the saplings

Goosebumps and Sweat

goosebumps and sweat
the hockey club fourths and fifths
give it their all
