Using football, important issues such as Anti-Sectarianism can be tackled, where we aim to improve understanding and break barriers between denominational and non-denominational school pupils. Targeting pupils during their transition from Primary to Secondary School is another key area of work for Active Schools. Annually staging an S1 Football Tournament and Clydebank Transitional festivals, we aim to provide pupils with a positive stepping stone by encouraging their interaction at a neutral sporting event.
One of sportscotland’s key priorities is to encourage more girls and young women to participate in sport and physical activity. Football is the fastest growing sport for girls in Britain and is key in getting girls more active. Active Schools are currently working alongside Football Development to increase opportunities to get girls involved in football.
