We know young people dropping out of organised sport is a long-standing issue that has proven extremely difficult to rectify. Many want to look outside of sport for factors that contribute to this, however we advocate for transformational change IN youth sport.
To that end, we intend to create opportunities for young people to co-design and lead game-based sport environments (hubs) that serve their interests and motivations, rather than adults. Unlike much of existing organised youth sport, this intention is highly aligned with both the UN Convention on the Rights of Children, and recent reports from Helen Connolly’s Department for Children & Young People in South Australia.
We will partner with people in communities to discover and grow capacity to enable young people and these hubs to flourish. We will also cultivate connections between Game Hubs such that a global network of local communities can share and journey together.
