Evaluation of Satellite Clubs: Extended Final Report

Satellite clubs were launched in 2013 as a part of Sport England's response to the Government's new strategy for youth sport. This evaluation aims to assess the effectiveness of satellite clubs, focussing on four key objectives: 1. Understand and evaluate the success of different organisations in engaging, retaining and achieving outcomes with groups traditionally under-represented in sport 2. Understand how effectively County Sports Partnerships and other regional/national partner organisations are helping to translate research and insight into practice at satellite clubs 3. Understand if satellite clubs with the most thorough approaches to strategic and operational planning are delivering demonstrably better results than others 4. Evaluate the influence of the strategic and operational debates surrounding satellite clubs on the wider community sport sector
