StreetGames’ role as a national partner of Sport England sees us work with national governing bodies (NGB) of sport to help them bring their sport to young people in deprived areas.

The main highlight of our work with NGBs in February has been the receiving of expressions of interest from 32 NGBs in involvement with Doorstep Sport Clubs as part of their 2013-17 whole sport plans.

StreetGames is currently working with Sport England to finalise the structure and roll-out of Doorstep Sport Clubs, in anticipation of a launch in summer 2012.

The second Doorstep Sport Clubs factsheet is now available to download.

Callam Jones, a young footballer who was part of the George Salter StreetGames project, made his debut for England U16s today in their match against Spain.

Callam, a defender, played the full 90 minutes as the Young Lions beat their Spanish hosts 1-0 at La Ciudad del Futbol de las Rozas in Madrid.

StreetGames is delighted to announce its role in the Government’s new £1 billion youth and community sports strategy which was unveiled by the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport, Jeremy Hunt MP, in central London today.

We will work with Sport England in the creation of many more sustainable doorstep multi-sport clubs around the country.

This new initiative will benefit thousands of our young people and, crucially, allows us to bring so many more into the StreetGames network.
