  • Engaging Underrepresented Young People in Physical Activity
    Engaging underrepresented young people in physical activity A report by Surrey Youth Focus commissioned by May 2018 Researched & Written by Cate Newnes- Smith; Su Freeman; David Halliwell; Caroline Martyn Engaging underrepresented young people in physical activity: Main Report 8th May 2018 Executive Summary The benefits of physical activity are well known. Like many health messages, encouraging the whole population to put this into practice is harder than it might first seem. In particular, young people from disadvantaged communities, girls and ethnic minorities do less physical activity than their peers. Simply the label of “sport” can be a huge turn off for many young people even though young people know that physical activity is beneficial to them. "Sport is not for young people like me" said the girl who cycles 4 miles to school and back but doesn’t want to engage in sports clubs at school. Taken from a combination of interviews with young people, sports organisations and youth organisations, it is clear that to increase the amount of physical activity that under-represented groups do we need to take a multi-faceted approach to changing mindsets and promoting activity. Formal sports clubs will only ever be a route to physical activity for parts of the population. Therefore for many the best route to physical activity is by encouraging a range of activities in the places and with the people they already hang out in and by embedding physical activity in their daily routines. We found a thread through all of the sports organisations who had rapidly increased their youth sections, namely a role model/coach on a personal mission to go above and beyond the norm in terms of reaching out to different groups.

But posting a few pictures of a star player on Twitter or Instagramming a hastily cobbled together highlights reel from last night’s match just won’t cut it. Fans want richer, more “ engaging content that makes them feel a deeper connection to the “ club they follow and the sport they love. 3 And clubs have an opportunity to capitalise on their social media followings to drive more fans to matches, sign them up to membership packages and boost commercial revenues by having them buy the latest kit and merchandise. The opening is there for clubs to better engage with and capitalise on their followers, but where some are hitting the back of the net with ease, many more are missing an open goal by miles. (Feel free to substitute your own clichés in that last sentence based on your preferred sport). To see who’s making the most of social media and using it as a channel to truly engage fans and followers, we looked at the Instagram, Facebook and Twitter profiles of 80 professional sports clubs across the UK and Ireland.
