Step into Sport

YST Step into Sport
These events focus on the development of leadership skills in young people with SEND, with an increased emphasis on further training and deployment opportunities in workforce specific roles.

Step into Sport (SiS) county events are organised and delivered by the YST Lead Inclusion Schools. The SiS attendees are supported by a local young role model and Athlete Role Model to develop leadership skills and understand what workforce roles they could step into. Each attendee is given a voice and empowered to return to their school and be a role model for others. 

It’s more than just standing up and speaking, you have got to engage with people, look after everyone, be part of it as well as lead it

What I’ve seen today is them developing their confidence, talking to each other, being comfortable outside of their comfort zone, feeling like they can achieve something, that there is something good that they can do and they can take that to their school.
