28 Feb 2006 - Child Sport Expert sought

Child sport expert

I wondered if you can help?
I work on a new CBBC show called 'Level Up' which from April will be the new hour long breakfast show mon - fri on BBC 2 and CBBC! The show is very much driven by children and we are looking for children aged 12-15 that are expert in different areas such as music, cooking, books and of course 'sport'. The expert will then come onto the show once a month and tell us what is going on in their area.

For sport, I am after a child that as well as being confident and TV friendly would have a background in sport and a reason to quantify them as an expert ie. they have written a sport column, have won a junior championship or a competition etc.

Does anyone come to mind?? Obviously an interest/knowledge in a
number of sports would be advantageous but not essential!

I'll leave it with you and will appreciate any help you can offer!

Many thanks

Lucie
