PESSYP
THE PE, SCHOOL SPORT & YOUNG PEOPLE STRATEGY (PESSYP)
The new PE and Sport Strategy for Young People (PESSYP) launched in January 2008 expresses the Government’s commitment to improve the quantity and quality of PE and sport undertaken by young people aged 5-19 in England. PESSYP builds on the success of the PE, School Sport and Club Links (PESSCL) Strategy for 5-16 year olds, which went live in
April 2003.
The new PE and Sport Strategy for Young People has ten Work Strands as follows:
1. CLUB LINKS
