A group of 13 young people – 6 girls, 7 boys – attended the StreetGames Sports Festival at Sportcity in Manchester with over 30 different activities and sports on offer.
Young people were given the opportunity to try something new in a none competitive environment. For this group, who were a bit hesitant at first, it was an amazing day. We witnessed how sports can help to move people out of their comfort zones, give opportunity to try new activities and skills under the watchful eyes of others and promote the basic skills of making friends and getting along with people they do not know.
