What do we do?
Sport 4 Life (S4L), under contract with the Stockfield Community Association, has been delivering a programme of sporting activities for the children and young people of the Stockfield Estate, Acocks Green, since May 2007.
Sessions are designed to be fresh, fun and motivating, as well as educational, and have included a whole range of professionally instructed sports including football, basketball, netball, badminton and athletics to name but a few.
What have we achieved?
A run-down and un-used youth pod has been renovated into a thriving base for youth activities in the area; over 60 children have enjoyed and benefited from our free sessions; and constructive activity is replacing restlessness in the estate.
What do our clients think?
"the best bit for me is making friends" - Raheem
"i really like going on the trips" - Reanne
"i enjoyed trying new sports like cricket"- Tayyah
What's next?
Sport 4 Life UK hope to reach out to even more young people in the area, through incorporating new 'Street Dance' and 'Street Cheer' sessions along with more evening sessions on the park MUGA- making use of our new Portable Floodlights. We also look forward to the 'Stockfield Fun Day 2009'
Timetable of our session
From April onwards, we will be starting up a new exciting sports programme on the back of 3 years funding from the Football Foundation. Please check the POD notice board, and park flyers for further details
