Step into Sport - Leadership/Volunteering - Wandsworth School Games

Step into Sport

Sport relies on 1.5 million volunteer officials, coaches, administrators and managers and the Youth Sport Trust plays a major role in supporting their development. Step into Sport focuses on young people aged 14 to 19, giving them opportunities to become involved in sports leadership and volunteering and encouraging them to continue this into later life. The programme is funded by the Department of Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS) as part of the PESSYP strategy, which is revitalising PE and school sport across the country.

Wandsworth SSP use Step into Sport as a vehicle to get young people in the borough volunteering in sport through the Wandsworth Leadership Academy.  Many of the students are involved in coaching, leading groups of children in sport, officiating and sports administration.
