GG Riva Posted March 29 Report Share Posted March 29 The Pars Tackle Health initiative is now 10 years old. This milestone marks its most successful season ever. Since last August; 22 different players have visited 22 local primary schools in 43 different classes and engaged with *1320 P6 and P7 pupils. *Total based on all pupils being present on the day. Allowing for absences, Pars players have been able to meet and speak to over 1200 local schoolchildren, who learn how they can improve and maintain good health by choosing healthier lifestyles. Of course, the players are crucial to these visits. No Martini - no party. 😀 Every single player completely buys into the programmes aims and objectives. They speak confidently about their lives as footballers, answer questions from the kids honestly, participate enthusiastically in the games sessions, pose for photos and sign autographs, long after the end of the school day. Feedback from the kids and their teacher is always very positive. https://parsfoundation.co.uk/story.php?t=Pars_Tackle_Health&ID=2226 Just one reason why we love the Pars. 😊 2 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grant Posted March 29 Report Share Posted March 29 (edited) Fantastic initiative @GG Riva 👏 I'm still a bit baffled as to why the club done advertise that they do this on twitter every week, even if we're doing rubbish on the pitch it'd give you a little dose of happiness that the club is out there in the community. It's really brilliant and it's good to hear that the players buy into it. Edited March 29 by Grant 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DA-go Par Adonis Posted March 29 Report Share Posted March 29 I bet it wouldn't give a dose of happiness to everyone on the back of a heavy defeat. "Maybe they should concentrate on learning how to pass the ball to each other rather than teaching school kids... etc." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could try Craig Brown, Pars Media Officer, craig@dafc.co.uk or David Cook, Chairman/CEO, davidcook@dafc.co.uk Nothing to lose.... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
