Doorstep Sport
Sport delivered close to home:

at the right time
in the right place
at the right price
in the right style…

Right Style
Doorstep Sport
Right Place
Ask people where they
want to play.
Right time
Ask people when they want
to play.
Be mindful of issues of
territory
A midnight session does not
have to begin at midnight!
Be mindful of pre-history
(are they barred from a
Leisure Centre?)
Late nights might suit late
teens.
Participants might start
on open space within
their territory.
Coach will be mindful of
the advantages of moving
indoors in winter
Be mindful of working hours
– not everyone works 9-5.
Community might want
sessions at times when there
are high rates of ASB.
Right price
Ask people what is a
reasonable
contribution
Assume the sessions
will be free.
Right style
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.
Group cooperates and belongs to all participants. The
more the solidarity the better the discipline.
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.
Do not expect all people to come at the start and leave at
the end. The better the solidarity the better the
attendance.
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?
