RESEARCH AND INSIGHTS
National sports data shows that the most popular activities amongst adults throughout life are typically ‘solo’ or ‘individual’ activities such as going to the gym, swimming, running and cycling; activities which can also be very popular amongst young people.
To help young people from disadvantaged areas to gain experience, knowledge, skills and confidence in these activities, StreetGames—through the Sport England funded Doorstep Sport Club programme—developed CLUB1. Since 2014 over 270 CLUB1 Doorstep Sport Clubs have been set up which focus on introducing young people to a range of solo sports. This fact sheet provides background information about CLUB1 and some of the early learning from Phase 1 of the programme.
