Satellite clubs make it easier for young people to get active – and stay active. They provide opportunities to take part regularly in sport and activity through the creation of enjoyable, appealing and convenient opportunities for young people that are based around their needs.
Satellite clubs have helped thousands of young people get active and Sport England's support for the programme will continue under their latest strategy, Towards an Active Nation.
This research report was developed with four key objectives:
1) To understand and evaluate the success of different organisations in engaging, retaining and achieving outcomes with groups traditionally under-represented in sport, including young people who have low levels of activity
2) To 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) To understand if satellite clubs with the most thoroughgoing approaches to strategic and operational planning are delivery demonstrably better results than others
4) To evaluate the influence of the strategic and operational debates surrounding satellite clubs on the wider community sport sector
Further guidance was developed to help you plan, establish and sustain a successful satellite club and is also available for download here.
