PE on a roll with skateboarding


Dundee schools are to offer PE classes in skateboarding and in-line skating as part of a radical plan to help tackle childhood obesity.

Dundee City Council is believed to be the first local authority in Scotland to offer sports classes based at a skatepark. Education officials believe the rethink will attract pupils who may not be interested in traditional sports such as football and rugby.

Skateboarding has been recognised as a valid sporting activity in the wake of the Scottish Executive's plans to tackle the country's childhood obesity problem.

Dundee has taken a lead by introducing PE classes based at the Factory Skatepark in the city's Douglas area.

Derek Marshall, director of the Factory Skatepark, said: "We have linked up with the council to offer all schools in Dundee the chance to use the facilities here . . . which I think is a first for a local authority in the UK."
