County Sports Partnership Update – Feb 2016
More funding awarded for Sportivate delivery in 2016/17
We have just received some fantastic news that we have gained an additional £48,326 to spend on Sportivate delivery for year 6 (2016/17).
Put into context we have gained the highest amount in the region by nearly £20,000 and the 5th highest amount in the country out of the 45 County Sport Partnership areas. This added to our annual population share of Sportivate funding now means we have over £200,000 to spend on Sportivate for year 6 (2016/17) This is fantastic and means we have been able to fund a lot more of the applications that we received at Christmas as again we were massively over subscribed.
Thank you to all our coaches, leads and deliverers for your hard work and efforts in targeting new and more challenging audiences this year which will allow even more young people to engage in Sportivate activities throughout 2016/17 in Staffordshire & Stoke on Trent.

Workshop: How to Deliver Engaging Sessions for Young People
Sport England’s research shows a dropout rate across most sports around the ages of 14–25. This is a practical-based workshop that will develop your coaching to help you better meet the needs of this age group. Through the use of practical examples you will learn about new participants’ needs, including how to build their self-confidence, motivation and self-esteem. This in turn will help you improve the coaching experience of young people and help to ensure they keep coming back for more sport.
You Will Learn How to Identify:
- different stages of young people’s participation development
- differences in coaching styles that meet young people’s requirements
- differences in coaching styles in different environments: schools, satellite clubs, colleges, universities and clubs.
