The role of education in celebrating the sporting heritage of rounders

In this episode, recorded for the Sporting Heritage of Disability and Women’s Sports project, Rhian Lilley, Director of Development at Rounders England, and Derek Peaple, education lead at Sporting Heritage, explain how they collaborated on educational resources that promote the heritage, accessibility and values of rounders – a sport many of us played at school, youth clubs, cubs or brownies – in educational settings.
