Dive! Dive! Dive!

No, this isn't a post about the promotion of continental football into UK schools. I'm glad to say that the football I've witnessed at school level so far has been filled far more with rough tackles and an urge to win the ball and score from free play than rolling around like a balloon in the wind hoping for a free kick.

At the end of the last school year, an email went round asking for staff to assist with new extra-curricular sporting clubs. The person I would be replacing when I joined forwarded it to me and I responded. The only sport I actively participate in is SCUBA diving and I suggested it. Surprisingly, it was taken on board and I was told to investigate when I started working.

Well, yesterday it all finally paid off. With the assistance of an outside organisation who are giving us a cut price deal, the classes begin after October break. Notices have gone out and we're only waiting to see how many pupils show an interest. Of course, it could all still fall flat! But the organisation is in place and we just need bodies (the living kind) to fill the available places.

We are encouraged to do something extra-curricular for experience and CV purposes. I'm just glad I'm getting the chance to do something I enjoy as well. Bonus!
