Burnley SSP is working closely with Burnley Borough Council’s Sport & Play Development Unit to create and develop links between schools and community sports clubs to support an increase in the number of children aged 5-16 years old who are participating in community sports clubs.
The overall outcome of the Club Links work strand will be to increase the number of young people in School Sport Partnerships involved in community-based sport.
It will continue to:
- Create high quality sports club opportunities for young people that are welcoming, safe, high quality and child friendly.
- Create high quality environments which encourage participation of children and young people.
- Offer activity programmes which include provision for talent development, incorporating the principles of the Long Term Athlete Development model.
- Provide access to activity programmes to all sections of the community.
- Recruit and develop coaches and volunteers (including young people) to provide the best possible activity programmes.
For further information on accredited clubs contact the council’s Club Development Officer on: 01282 664444 or email dwright@burnley.gov.uk
