Satellite Sports Clubs

What is the Satellite Club Development Programme? The satellite programme is a three year initiative funded by Sport England that aims to support the transition between school sport and community sport. The scheme seeks to provide new sporting opportunities to people aged 11-25 years with the aim of ensuring that every secondary school and college in Cornwall develops an offer of at least one satellite club by 2017. The satellite club can be used to;

  • Expand a hub club to increase capacity in areas of high demand
  • Diversify the sporting offer a club can make to the local community
  • Allow clubs to engage with specific groups

What does a satellite club look like?

  • Based locally, usually but not exclusively on a secondary school or college site
  • Open to all young people across the local community, not just pupils from the nominated partner school
  • Run once a week, with delivery not just limited to term time
  • Held at a time when young people can access the facility
  • Clearly identifiable as part of the community hub club
  • Run by hub club coaches and volunteers

What level of funding is available? To support this initiative Cornwall Sports Partnership has access to limited funding from Sport England to help support the set up and delivery of satellite clubs. There is no set amount of funding for each satellite club it will depend on the needs of the club, the desired outcomes and the project budget that is developed.

What is the role of the CSP?As part of our wider club development work Cornwall Sports Partnership is acting as the key link maker in connecting school needs and facility availability with local club delivery and capacity. We will work with NGB partners to support clubs in developing their satellite plans and in identifying available resource and as satellite clubs develop we will support ongoing activity and promotion.
