2015-2016 MOVE TRANSFER
COMPILATION INITIATIVES

In 2014/2015 ISCA identified three national sport organisations, one local authority and one university with initiatives that were highly suitable for being transferred to another country.

We believed these transfer organisation had the capacity to facilitate the transfer, to further enhance the initiative and share their success across Europe. We also believed that their experience in running physical activity initiatives would ensure a high quality transfer of the selected initiative.

Initiative: Doorstep Sport Clubs

Transfer organisation: StreetGames, UK

Receiving organisation: The Independent Organisation for Sport Education in Kosovo (OESK)

Doorstep Sport is an approach that has been at the heart of StreetGames’ activities since the non-profit organisation began in 2007. The secret of its success is its motto of delivering attractive physical activity offers to socially disadvantaged youth “at the right time, the right price, the right place and in the right style”, says StreetGames’ CEO Jane Ashworth. A doorstep sport club is not a traditional, organised grassroots sport club as we often know it. It is an informal, yet carefully thought out, delivery of physical activity sessions by local community sport and recreation providers that is tailored to each target group’s needs.
