Startups: developing your ideas

The Sported Start-ups Programme is specifically designed for new group and individuals who are either in their early stages of development or just beginning their sport for development journey.

The purpose of the support is to walk through the two fundamental checklists which ensure the sport for development idea is well thought out and that they have the essentials in place prior to delivery. Following sessions to review both checklists, the member will be left with a number of information sheets and actions across all areas.

There are a lot of things to consider when setting up a new group. Sported has used its experience and feedback from members who were in a similar position to identify a list of essential questions you need to feel confident answering when setting up a new sport for development group.

  1. Have you researched your community?
  2. Have you researched the young people in your community?
  3. Have you identified what impact you would like to have?
  4. Would your idea work?
  5. Have you put together a basic plan?

Along with each question, there are a set of achievement goals, ideas to get the member thinking and a thorough list of support available in and outside of Sported.
