Sport England Update
Half a million kids inspired to play sport
by London 2012
Half a million young people who don’t ordinarily play sport outside of school lessons have made a change and completed 10-week sports courses in their own time.
The courses, which are part of Sport England’s Sport Unlimited programme, are demonstrating how we are helping youngsters to make sport a bigger part of their lives.
Four sports have come together with Sport England and the Football Foundation to agree a new strategic approach to selecting artificial grass pitches.
New guidance drawn up by the sports bodies will ensure the right surfaces are installed in the right places, delivering maximum value for investment in pitches.
