Introducing StreetGames
Doorstep Sport
Sport delivered close to home:– at the right time– in the right place– at the right price– in the right style…
Right Place
Right Time
Right Style
Right Place Right time Right price Right styleAsk people where they want to play.
Ask people when they want to play.
Ask people what is a reasonable contribution
Style evolves over time. Coach must be in charge but many good coaches do not appear to be. It is hard work to appear so laissez faire.
Be mindful of issues of territory
A midnight session does not have to begin at midnight!
Assume the sessions will be free.
Group cooperates and belongs to all participants. The more the solidarity the better the discipline.
Be mindful of pre-history (are they barred from a Leisure Centre?)
Late nights might suit late teens.
Fundraising towards a specific event - a trip or tournament bonds a group.
Skills and drills unlikely to engage target group.Have a session plan but be flexible.Find creative ways to teach skills.
Participants might start on open space within their territory.
Be mindful of working hours – not everyone works 9-5.
Do not expect all people to come at the start and leave at the end. The better the solidarity the better the attendance.
Coach will be mindful of the advantages of moving indoors in winter
Community might want sessions at times when there are high rates of ASB.
Do not expect people change for the session or wear right gear.
Do not expect clear cut age groups in each session. Keep older group separate – it’s not cool to play with 14 year olds.Coach knows participants individually and has a progression plan for each.

Respect…
Respect is hard to earn but easily lost. In groups discuss:
• Three things that cause you to respect others? • Three things you think cause young people to respect others? • Three things that might cause you to lose respect for someone? • Three things that might cause a young person to lose respect for
someone?
