School to Club Links

The aim of having school to club links is to create many opportunities for young people to take part in sport, both inside and outside of school.

Active Tameside Sport & Physical Activity Network can support the formation of a valued and meaningful school to club link through Active Tameside’s high quality Coaches in Schools PE and sport programmes, which will form a mutual beneficial partnership between a school and a community club or group.

Benefits for clubs and groups:

• • More young people in the club
  • Increased participation in the club
  • Opportunity to identify talent of the future
  • Potential access to school facilities
  • Parental engagement leading to more club volunteers
  • Raised profile within the community
  • Financial opportunities
  • Opening up club access to the wider community
  • Pool of young leaders, coaches and officials

Benefits for schools:

• • More active and healthier pupils
  • Raised profile within the community
  • Community links
  • Pathways for sport – easy exit routes for children into ongoing involvement
  • Improved performance in competitions through school teams
  • Potential support from club coaches with extra-curricular teams/activities
