Sports Pass combines the “Happy and Healthy” focus from Every Child Matters with fun-packed literacy, numeracy and ICT activities.

The programme is for both Year 9 high school students and Year 5 or 6 primary school pupils. The older children are trained to act as peer mentors to the younger pupils, befriending them and assisting them with their work. This system improves confidence, key skills and teamworking in both age groups.

The Sports element of the course is delivered by qualified sports coaches using the fantastic facilities at South Leeds Stadium. The coaches will introduce pupils to a range of new sports, with a fresh activity each session.

Sports PASS is a ten week course delivered in school time. The course currently runs on Mondays and Thursdays from 12.30 to 2.30. Transport is provided to and from the centre for primary school pupils.
