School Sport Organising Crew

Young people in our school can play a fundamental role in shaping and developing the Sainsbury's School Games.

School Sport Organising Crews (SSOCrews) are groups of young people who join together to lead the planning and delivery of school sport clubs and Level 1 (intra) school competition programmes in their school.

They influence and shape the school sport offer for their classmates by deciding on the types of competitions to be held, their structure and where and when they take place. This helps make the Sainsbury's School Games even more attractive and accessible for all young people.

What do the committees and crews do?

As well as helping to organise and promote the Sainsbury's School Games the SSOCrew ensures that the Sainsbury's School Games meet the needs of the young people in their school.

To help the crew do this they:

• Report back at the end of the year what improvements have been or are going to be made.
• Work with teachers to improve school sport and the Sainsbury's School Games.
• Organise a survey to find out what young people think of sport in their school.

As well as improving the Sainsbury's School Games these tasks will also help to develop them to develop important life skills for the students involved.
