Satellite clubs are a Sport England initiative aimed at helping young people take the step into community sport.
Satellite clubs are extensions of community sports clubs which are established in a new venue, usually a secondary school or college and specifically target the 11-25 age group.
Coaches and volunteers linked to a community sports club work in partnership with the satellite host venue to create a new community satellite club.
Check out how Leicestershire & Rutland Sport have worked together with Leicester Bluesox to set up baseball clubs at Leicester Schools:
We've also have huge success with our archery club at Judgemeadow Community College, with over 60 young people coming along to give archery a go!
The School Sports Partnership are in a great position to link up schools and community clubs, and our Graduate Legacy Maker Poppy Marriott is in charge of developing the Satellite Programme within Leicester City.
