Sport in Schools
You will be working in pairs to teach each other about sport in schools.
In your pair decide who is person A and who is person B.
Person A research the following topics (pages 3-10 on the powerpoint):
• The Youth Sports Trust
• The TOPS Programme
• Dragon Sport
Person B research the following topics (pages 11-18 on the powerpoint)
• Sports Colleges
• The Sports College Partnership
• Sports Development Officers
At the end of 20 minutes research time you must explain all you know about that topic to
the other person.
You will both then be tested on the topic you have been taught about.
First we are going to look at how the government promote mass
participation in schools in this country.
YOUTH SPORTS

TOPs PROGRAMME
(Primary Schools)
The Youth Sports Trust has developed a series of
schemes for young people aged 18 months to 18
years called the TOPS Programme
• Takes place in over 20,000 schools throughout the country.
•The TOPS programmes are nationally co-ordinated by the Youth Sport Trust
and delivered locally throughout the county.
•The programmes are delivered as a package including practical training to
teachers, resources and support and are designed to support the delivery of
the national curriculum.
• The word 'TOP' is a trade name and does not stand for anything
TOP Tots (18 month to 3 year age group)
The first of the programmes, TOP Tots uses physical activity to
develop communication and language techniques, coordination, cooperation and social skills.
TOP Start (3 to 5 year age group)
TOP Start is focused on developing basic movement and ball
skills. It is designed to encourage the full integration of children
with disabilities.
TOP Play (4 to 9 year age group)
TOP Play offers this age group the chance to develop their core
physical and movement skills.
TOP Sport supported by Sainsbury’s Active Kids (7 to 11
year age group)
As well as developing skills in a range of sports for young
people, the primary TOP programmes provide an enhanced set
of resources and training for teachers.
TOP Skill(11-14 age group)
Challenging 11 to 14 year olds to extend their sporting skills
and knowledge.
TOP Link (14 to 16 year age group)
TOP Link encourages 14-16 secondary school students to

Key Features of the Tops Programme
• Child friendly equipment - developed in conjunction with suppliers.
• Pack of resource cards - developed through considerable research and
intended to include activities:Used by children;
Offer a variety of linked activities;
Set up quickly and easily;
Give useful hints to deliverers on, safety, organising and follow-up
games.
• Free quality training - intended to be kept very tight with only 3-levels of
tuition, to maintain quality at point of delivery. National YST Trainers tutor
local Scheme Trainers who are able to induct deliverers to avoid cascade
and therefore dilution of ideas.
Dragon Sport
(Welsh equivalent of the TOPs Programme)
This scheme is based on New Zealand’s Kiwi Sport
scheme and focuses on the recruitment of
volunteers to provide extra curricular sport
sessions for children.
The main aims of Dragon Sport
• To give 7-11 year olds regular, well organised and
enjoyable sporting experiences
Develop strong club – school links.
Now we are going to look at how the government promotes
excellence in schools in this country.
Sports Colleges
(Secondary Schools)
•
Sports Colleges receive an initial grant to improve sporting facilities,
and additional funding each year to carry out development plans.
The 5 key aims of Sports Colleges are to provide:
• High quality teaching in PE and sport.
• Increased opportunities for gifted and talented performers
• Access to sports specific qualifications such as GCSE’s and A levels.
• Links with local primary schools, secondary schools and special
schools.
• Improved sporting facilities and opportunities for the local community.
Where is the closest sports college?
Sports colleges aim to strengthen the links between schools and the private
or charitable sector sponsors; sponsors will support their Sports College with
cash or goods sponsorship, and will also take an ongoing role in the
development of the school.
To become a sports college schools must raise £50,000 in
sponsorship and then write a detailed 3 year development plan.
