About Us:

Leon Wormley, Project Co-ordinator

Telephone: 01709 822479 Fax: 01709 838823 E-mail: leon.wormley@rotherham.gov.uk

I was appointed project co-ordinator in September 2006 and to date I have seen more than 1,000 people attend Herringthorpe Sports Village activities.

It’s an absolute pleasure to work on this project, meeting the needs and demands of the great local community and I am proud to be involved.

Dean Sidebottom, Community Sports Coach

Telephone: 01709 822479 Mobile: 07766247633 E-mail: dean.sidebottom@rotherham.gov.uk

I started working on this project in October 2007 and have really enjoyed working with Leon and the local community and I have met some great people.

I enjoy playing all sports - especially football, having played semi-professional football for Goole Town AFC in the Uni-Bond South Division for the past year.

I want to encourage everyone to get involved in the project as we have lots of fun whilst at the same time building up a sweat and getting fit.
