What is JM Sports in the Community?

JM Sports in the Community is a registered charity.

Our primary objective is to aid in the development of Physical Activity in Schools and Communities throughout Merseyside, Cheshire and surrounding areas and, through our team of specialist Sports Coaches, increase and improve opportunities for children and young people within this area to participate in a wide variety of Sports Activities.

We work in partnership with Schools, Community groups and local Organisations to achieve this objective. The key areas we focus our support on are:

1. Healthy Beginnings – Physical Activity for KS1

We firmly believe that instilling the core values of a healthy life style in the first years of school forms a foundation for a healthy way of living that will have a lasting and permanent effect.

2. Sport for Breakfast

Research supports the idea that exercise in the morning increases brain activity and is good preparation for learning. We believe both adults and children can greatly benefit from exercise at this time of the day and feel energized for the challenges ahead.

3. Local Community Clubs

We see Local Community Clubs as a vital stepping stone connecting the positive first experiences of Sport in schools to established Sport specific Clubs running across the area. A vital part of this is external club links - guiding people to the right place for them to excel in their favourite sport and identifying gifted & talented.

4. No say – just play

We believe that there are limited opportunities for children and young people to play independently (without adults butting in) in a fun and safe environment. This project above all is to encourage imagination and creativity, whilst providing adult support if required.

5. CITS – Community Improvement through Sport

We believe Sport is inclusive and can engage people from all corners of society whatever their age, gender, social & cultural background, physical & mental ability. Sport can be used as a tool to connect people in a positive way and reduce anti-social behaviour.

Sport has played a major role in all of our lives at JM Sports and we aim to pass this enthusiasm for participation in Sport onto every individual, whatever their ability.
