Summer Mobile Sports Team

It was recognised through consultation with various community groups across Neighbourhood Renewal areas in Belfast, that there were limited opportunities for children and young people not involved in Sports Clubs to participate in structured physical activity and sport sessions.

In 2004, BCSDN developed the Summer Mobile Sports Team. Through partnership funding, 20 coaches and leaders were provided in-service training and deployed over the summer months in teams of 3 coaches to deliver multi activity sessions in various community based venues across the City. The SMST now deliverers over 550 sports sessions and health awareness information to 30+ community organisations each summer, culminating in a Multi Sports Festival at Mary Peter’s Track.
