focus
The YST work hard to encourage all young people to take part in sport and PE, both in and out of school time.
They encourage children to do more PE and sport by developing different ways of getting them interested and involved. This can be everything from running training camps for the next generation of Olympic hopefuls, or using sport as a way of helping youngsters who may be struggling at school or introducing new ways for young people to lead and volunteer in sport in their community.
Supporting school sport
The Youth Sport Trust supports schools to use sport to raise standards, achievement and attainment across all subject areas. And, there is a growing belief that PE and school sport can make a major contribution to many agendas – educational achievement, public health, community cohesion and, of course, sporting performance at the highest level.
