What is it?

 

Step into Sport is part of the Government’s PE, School Sport and Club Links (PESSCL) strategy.  It focuses on young people aged 14-19 years and aims to encourage them to undertake an involvement in sports leadership and volunteering that will continue into later life.

 

5 important steps have been identified to work towards this goal.

 

The Step into Sport Pathway:

 

Step 1: Young people engage in a programme of Sport Education at School.

 

Step 2: Young people undertake a nationally recognised Level 1 award in Sports Leadership which is accredited.

 

Step 3: Young people gain practical experience in volunteering through planning and running a TOP link festival for primary aged children.

 

Step 4: Young people undertake community sports leadership training and sport specific leadership training which is accredited.

 

Step 5: Young people participate in a programme of mentored volunteering in their local community.  County Sports Partnerships and national governing bodies provide support to the clubs and organisations receiving the young people.
