Testimonials & Reviews
Sports Connect have helped me with my struggles outside of sports and to grow as a person, the staff are nice people to talk to and are people I can have a laugh with. I enjoyed studying on the NCFE level 3 coaching pathway, I have gained experience through working with other coaches and delivering my own sessions which supported my development and confidence.
When I first came to Sports Connect, I had a fixed mindset towards a lot of things and other people. Having completed my first term, I have met lots of different people and learnt that sport brings people together. I’m more considerate towards my peers and supportive and generally have an appreciation for sport has done for me.
The weekly sessions provide an opportunity for the guys to relax and have fun. Many of them have been on traumatic journeys, and the uncertainty whilst waiting for the outcome of their asylum claims can be very stressful. Football gives them the opportunity to forget about their problems for a few hours. The sessions also give them an opportunity to be part of the local community. Playing football with some of the local players allows them to make friends and connect locally. This is one of the most important aspects for the participants. Over the weeks, I’ve seen their confidence grow and a number have joined volunteer and training programmes as a result of these connections.
The Kent and Medway Violence reduction unit commission Sports Connect CIC to work in collaboration with other providers to deliver a community Sports programme across Kent in areas of risk of harm to young people due to youth violence and other community issues. The aim to reach and engage those most vulnerable to harm. There is evidence that highlights the positive outcomes of community sports and the impact on crime and violence. Sports Connect have achieved amazing engagement in our schools and out in communities, which is a testament to the delivery of their sessions and the team who operate out on the ground.
I feel the knowledge I have gained on the different courses have helped me become a more skilled coach which has helped me to gain employment teaching in schools and also helping coach at the Charlton Athletic Football Club Academy. I would highly recommend Sports Connect to any young person aspiring to have a career in Sports.
I am really enjoying my journey with Sports Connect. Going from playing to coaching, working through the coaching qualifications and now getting a role as an assistant teaching learning assistant. I’m really enjoying it
