About this programme:
yoUR Sport is the brand name for the intra-school competition programme. Intra-school competition is a vital part of the five-hour offer. For many young people this type of competition is the perfect outlet for the skills and knowledge they gain from PE. It is also an opportunity to play and have fun with their friends and achieve something worthwhile. Alongside high-quality PE and thriving out-of-school hours learning opportunities, intra-school competition will engage young people in fun and meaningful physical activity making a substantial contribution to their school life and five-hour offer.
Target audience:
11 to 16 year olds (Key Stages 3 and 4), but specifically for those aged 14 to 16 (Key Stage 4)
Issues that this programme tackles:
yoUR Sport aims to increase participation rates using a range of modified and alternative sports activities and provide meaningful opportunities for young people to be deployed as leaders.
