The Bleep test Competition!!!

We had 4 winners. Congratulations to them all.  They will be receiving their original team flag through the post very soon The bleep test we ran at Sports Plus had 21 levels and we ran 15m every bleep.

Question -  ‘How far will you have ran (in Metres) if you completed the bleep test at Sports Plus?’       Answer – 3555 M.

Winner – Tom Harris, team Mozambique at the England Sports Plus with 3675M

Runner Up – Sophie Wilmot, team Mauritius at the England Sports Plus with 3780M

 

Some of you worked it out on the Bleep test which lasts 23 levels so we are going to take the 2 closest.  The answer then would have been 4035M.

Winner – Abi Silver, team Botswana at the Wales Sports Plus with 4035M

Runner Up – Ben Pearson, team Burkino Faso at the England Sports Plus with 4020M.

What you said...

"Sports Plus has certainly made my week amazing and something I won't forget. I loved getting professional advice in hockey and other sports such as rugby and football.  I enjoyed team challenge and the meetings with the 'I am the one and only' song.  It was a pleasure to listen to the studies of the life of Jesus from the Gospel of John, so much so that it makes me thing about my faith closely and how many questions I still need to answer about my faith in God.

 

I am definitely coming back next year as it will be my last but in the future I would like to come as a leader or coach.  I am going to recommend camp to all my sporty friends."


"Not even the weather could ‘dampen’ our spirits. The main theme of the week was “The Outrageous Claims of Jesus” which challenged everyone to ask themselves ‘What Do You Believe?’ For those of us who have already committed our lives to Jesus, we were encouraged to ‘Pray, Play, Say’ for our team mates and play sport in a way which glorifies Christ and remembering that we have an ‘Audience of One’.

 

Tube Dash made Team Challenge the highlight of my week although it is difficult to pick out a favourite feature. ‘Secret Smile’ was made even more exciting this year with the introduction of “100% Diamond Diva” t-shirts as prizes for leaders and “Minute Maid” t-shirts for young people. Matt Beeby, Howie and Pav were of the lucky few to wear the sparkly number. And although only a handful a young people won the “minute maid” shirts, I’m sure that we all ‘LOVED EVERY MINUTE’ of Brecon ’05."


"The Scotland camp was awesome, I got so much out of it this year not only through the sport but through the amazing meetings. I also made some really good friends and have memories I will never forget. Hope you'll have me back as a leader next year. Thanx for an amazing summer."


"I came to the Scottish camp in the summer and had the most amazing time -especially with God. I am back at school about to finish our inter-school football tournament where about 12 local schools all play. The final is tomorrow and we managed to scrape through on penalties today! - Throughout the tournament I have been reading the devotions for a sports player and God has really spoken to me. Previously - if an opponent was swearing at me I'd give him some lip but since being at the camp God has nudged me when I'm about to lose my cool. Before every half we pray and commit the game to God which is awesome. After today's win we all got into a huddle and me and our goalkeeper just poured out our praise to HIM. It was amazing as we really felt God.  I have worn my CIS camp shirt before every match and I wear my bracelet all the time (unless we have to take them off for games) and they have really helped me to be a witness as our team has really shined for God in the tournament and we believe that without him - today would have turned out so differently. Since coming back to school  I have tried to tell people about the work you do and have already got some recruits for camps in the summer or in the future. I can't wait until next year! - Thanks for all the work you do and may God Bless You."


"I had an amazing few days and It really was the best week of my year so far! I loved every minute of it and had so many highlights! I loved playing netball as a first sport. The coaching was amazing and I had a fantastic time playing with both people I knew and people I didn't. It was great improving old skills and learning new ones. Team challenge was great, and I really did enjoy playing games with my team! They were all awesome but Tube Dash was the best by far, and something that  I'm never going to forget! Trying to make up as many chants and songs about the amazing Tube Dash was such a great laugh! My team was awesome, and my leaders were such a great encouragement,  support and inspiration to me, I really did like getting to know all of the fabulous young people in my team!

I also really loved the meetings and learning about the outrageous claims of Jesus! I learnt a lot and I am now extremely motivated to Pray for my team mates back at home, Play in a way that honours Christ and to Say something of Jesus to them! I really did have an awesome and exciting week! Thank you all so much for all of the effort and hard work that you put in, it really paid off and I can't wait until Sports Plus in Brecon '06!!"


This was my 1st year at camp even though I am 14 but it is definitely not my last. I wasn't sure what to expect and was quite nervous when I was driving up to Armagh. But as soon as I reached there, I settled in quickly making some amazing friends which I'll never forget! Camp really did test your faith in Christ and it has proved to me how much more I have to work! The evening praise was awesome, especially when singing, I AM THE ONLY AND ONLY!! One thing that ill never forget! The leaders were also amazing, hopefully we will all keep in touch! All I have to say is that I can't wait to camp next year it really did make my summer!! xx
