friday night we had good friends over for a pizza cook off....needless to stay we had a blast.  the pizzas were great- we spent 2 hrs prepping them....or maybe talking, laughing, sipping, and forgetting what we were putting on our pizzas.  as you can tell, we thought it was pretty fun.  by the time we finally ate, they both tasted like winners :)  if you need a great recipe for pizza, this is my favorite!!  hope y'all had a blast this weekend too!

Llysgenhadon Ieuainc: Ysbrydoli Drwy Chwaraeon

Gyda blwyddyn i fynd tan yr Olympaidd 2012 yn Llundain, mae un o’r rhoddion y Gemau yn talu I ffwrdd yn barod yma yn Nghymru.  Ffurfiasant y symudiad Llysgenhadon Ieuainc, mewn partneriad gan adidas, Youth Sport Trust, LOCOG a Chwaraeon Cymru, i rhoi mwy o lais i bobl ifanc ac i galluogi gwirfiddolwyr ifanc addas i rhannu negeseuon yr Olympaidd a Paralympaidd efo pobl ifanc eraill i ysbrydoli nhw i gymryd rhan mewn chwaraeon.  

Clywson ni gan dau o’r
Llysgenhadon Ieuainc ysbrydoledig yma, o Rhondda Cynon Taff, am eu profiadau hyd at nawr.

Mae Llundain 2012 yn prysur agosáu ac mae’n ymddangos bod mudiad y Llysgenhadon Ieuainc wir yn mynd o nerth i nerth. Fel Llysgenhadon Ieuainc, rydym ni’n gweithredu fel modelau rôl i bobl ifanc eraill yn ein hysgolion a’n cymunedau ni, i’w hysbrydoli nhw i gymryd rhan mewn chwaraeon ac i greu mwy o ymwybyddiaeth o Lundain 2012 a’r Gwerthoedd Olympaidd a Pharalympaidd.      
   
Gyda thua 300 o Lysgenhadon Ieuainc Aur ac adiStar i’w cael ledled Cymru, mae enghreifftiau o straeon llwyddiannus yn dod i’r amlwg ar hyd a lled y wlad, ac enghreifftiau o bwysigrwydd rhoi grym i bobl ifanc i ddod yn amlwg, gan arwain at ymestyn ar draws pob sector o chwaraeon yng Nghymru. Mae’r wythnos ddiwethaf hon yn arbennig wedi dangos angen cynyddol am roi pwyslais ar ddylanwad pobl ifanc mewn chwaraeon, yn enwedig Llysgenhadon Ieuainc.    

Aeth y ddau ohonom i Gynhadledd Rhanddeiliaid Chwaraeon Cymru a chyflwyno gweithdy yn dwyn y teitl, ‘Cael pob plentyn i wirioni ar chwaraeon am oes – Sut mae gwneud hynny!’ Roedd hwn yn gyfle gwych i ni ddylanwadu ar y bobl allweddol sy’n gwneud penderfyniadau ledled Cymru, ac yn her y gwnaethom ei mwynhau’n fawr iawn.

Cawsom gyfle i egluro sut rydym ni’n dau’n brysur yn ein hysgol a’n cymuned, yn debyg iawn i bob Llysgennad Ifanc arall, ac yn cymryd rhan mewn gweithgareddau amrywiol fel gweithgareddau 5x60, hyfforddiant cymunedol a gwaith gwirfoddol arall yn ein hysgolion a’n hardaloedd lleol.     
     
Hefyd, roedd Natalie Davies, Llysgennad Aur arall o Ysgol Gyfun Maesteg, yn bresennol yn y Gynhadledd a rhannodd ei llwyddiannau rhyfeddol hi fel LlI. Ar ddechrau’r flwyddyn, sefydlodd ysgol ddawns yn ei chymuned leol, sydd wedi denu mwy na 60 o blant bob wythnos. Cystadlodd yr ysgol ym Mhencampwriaethau Hip-Hop Prydain yn ddiweddar, gan ddod yn drydydd, sy’n golygu eu bod nhw wedi cymhwyso ar gyfer Pencampwriaethau Hip-Hop y Byd yn Las Vegas. Roedd hi wir yn ysbrydoliaeth i ni ac os nad ydy hynny’n amlinellu effaith pobl ifanc ar gynyddu cyfranogiad mewn chwaraeon ac annog pobl ifanc eraill i gymryd rhan mewn chwaraeon a’u mwynhau, yna dyn a ŵyr beth sydd!  
             
Yn ein barn ni, roedd y gynhadledd yn gyflawniad gwych. Roedd yn gyfle i grŵp mawr o bobl sy’n meddwl mewn ffordd debyg, nid yn unig o’r sector chwaraeon, ond o’r sectorau iechyd ac addysg hefyd, i ymgynnull a rhannu syniadau a gwybodaeth ynghylch gweithredu’r ‘Weledigaeth ar gyfer Chwaraeon yng Nghymru’. Hefyd, roedd y Gynhadledd yn gyfle gwych i Natalie ac i ninnau gyflwyno’r cyfrifoldebau y gall y Llysgenhadon Ieuainc ymgymryd â nhw a sôn am ein llais unigryw sydd â grym i gael effaith ar chwaraeon yng Nghymru. 

Efallai bod rhai’n cwestiynu dibynadwyedd a photensial pobl ifanc i gael effaith ar chwaraeon ond mae’n dod yn fwy a mwy amlwg bod gennym ni allu i ysbrydoli eraill mewn ffordd gadarnhaol. Drwy ddefnyddio Llundain 2012 a’r ‘Weledigaeth ar gyfer Chwaraeon yng Nghymru’ fel catalyddion, mae ein swyddogaeth ni fel Llysgenhadon Ieuainc yn dod yn adnodd hanfodol er mwyn cyrraedd nod uchelgeisiol Cymru o gael ‘Pob Plentyn Wedi Gwirioni ar Chwaraeon am Oes’.

Er bod y mudiad LlI yn dal i ddatblygu a gwneud cynnydd, rydym ni angen pobl i wrando arnom ni o hyd, ac i roi’r grym yn ein dwylo ni. Felly cymerwch risg os gwelwch yn dda a rhowch gyfle i ni ddangos beth gallwn ni ei gyflawni!

Young Ambassadors: Inspiring Through Sport

With a year to go until the London 2012 Olympics nearing, one of the legacies of those Games is already paying massive dividends here in Wales. The Young Ambassador movement, in partnership with adidas, Youth Sport Trust, LOCOG and Sport Wales, was set up  to give young people more of a voice and to empower suitably proactive young volunteers with the opportunity to share the Olympic and Paralympic values with their peers to inspire them to take part in sport.

We hear from two such inspiring Young Ambassadors, based in Rhondda Cynon Taff, about their experiences so far.

London 2012 is fast approaching and it would appear that the Young Ambassador movement is truly in its stride.  As Young Ambassadors we act as role models to other young people in our schools and communities to inspire them to participate in sport and to raise awareness of London 2012 and the Olympic and Paralympic Values.

With around 300 Gold and adiStar Young Ambassadors around Wales examples of success stories are springing up all across the country and the importance of empowering young people is becoming prominent, with the results stretching across every sector of sport in Wales. This past week in particular has displayed the growing need for emphasis to be placed on the influence of young people in sport, especially Young Ambassadors.

We both attended the Sport Wales Stakeholder Conference and delivered a workshop entitled, ‘Getting every child hooked on sport for life – How we do it!’ This was a great opportunity for us to influence key decision makers across Wales and a challenge which we thoroughly enjoyed.
We explained how we both have very active roles in both the school and community setting, similar to every other Young Ambassador, and participate in various activities such as 5x60 activities, community coaching and other voluntary work within our school and local areas.

Natalie Davies, a fellow Gold Ambassador from Maesteg Comprehensive School, also attended the Conference and shared her amazing successes as a YA. At the start of the year she set up a dance school in her local community which has attracted over 60 children every week.   They recently entered and came third in the British Hip-Hop Championships which means they have qualified for the World Hip-Hop Championships in Las Vegas.  She certainly inspired us and if that doesn’t outline the impact of young people in increasing participation in sport and enthusing other young people to take part and enjoy sport then we don’t know what does!

In our opinion the conference was a great accomplishment. It was a chance to allow a large group of like-minded people from not only the sports sector, but also the health and education sectors, to congregate and share ideas and information regarding the implementation of the ‘Vision for Sport in Wales’. Also, the Conference was a brilliant chance for Natalie and ourselves to present what responsibilities Young Ambassadors can undertake and how we have a unique voice which has the power to impact sport in Wales.

Some might question the reliability and potential for young people to impact sport but it is becoming more and more evident that we have the ability to positively inspire others. By using London 2012 and the ‘Vision for Sport in Wales’ as catalysts our roles as Young Ambassadors are becoming a vital tool in achieving Wales’ ambitious aspiration of getting ‘Every Child Hooked on Sport for Life’. 

Although the YA movement is constantly developing and constantly progressing we still need people to listen and empower us. So please, take a risk and give us the opportunities to show you what we can do!
