Satellite Clubs – Adapting During Covid-19

In 2020, 95 community organisations in the StreetGames network had planned to deliver Doorstep Sport sessions aimed at engaging young people aged 14+ from lower socio-economic groups (LSEGs) via Sport England Satellite Club funding. However, when the coronavirus pandemic hit the UK, these sessions were impacted along with the rest of the country, testing the resilience of coaches, volunteers and young people.

In September 2020, StreetGames distributed an online survey to organisations in receipt of recent Satellite Club funding, to find out their current status, how the pandemic had affected their delivery and how they had attempted to overcome its challenges.
