Proven results
We teamed up with the Youth Sport Trust in 2003 to develop Sky Sports Living for Sport. It started off as a way of improving behaviour and grew into something from which anyone or any group could benefit. Today Sky Sports Living for Sport not only improves behaviours, it motivates and inspires, improves life skills and increases attainment through participation in sport.
At the same time, it is important that we don’t get complacent, stay fresh, and benefit young people in the best possible way. Each year we check in with teachers, young people and parents to see how they and we are doing.
