Project details
LOPASS – Leyton Orient Trust
LOPASS, delivered by Leyton Orient Trust, aims chiefly at primary, but incorporating secondary schools, and using the players to engage in such things as: curriculum activities using football as the subject medium; leading PE sessions; presenting awards; and/or participating in Q&A sessions.
The scheme continues to evolve and over fifty schools were invited to experience a League Two game at the Matchroom Stadium with complimentary tickets supplied by the club as well as the chance of being selected for a match-day experience whereby pupils were chosen to be flag bearers/guard of honour pre-match or take penalties at half-time.
The schools are also offered an opportunity to partake in a stadium tour, a visit to the training ground and a visit from club mascot Theo the Wyvern. To increase the clubs profile, schools are requested to record visits via the schools own newsletters and website (including a link to the LOFC website) plus regular announcements are made via the clubs match-day programme and stories produced on the LOFC website.
The scheme also allows schools to showcase their talents with Norlington Boy’s School drummers attending a couple of matches and entertaining the crowd both pre-match and at half-time.
