The Sideline Project

Organised by Athletic Elite, The Sideline Project empowers young people to make healthier choices providing them with a safe place to belong. The young people, aged seven to 19, are students with poor school attendance and/or those referred by the police.

The Sideline Project hosts six-week programmes for secondary schools in high priority areas, running evening basketball and mentoring sessions. During this coaches deliver sessions about confidence, physical health, resilience and emotional well-being.
