About the organisation
About us
TeamSports4All helps socio-economically disadvantaged kids participate in club sport in
their community – kids from the poorest and most marginalised parts of our society. We all
know that sport leads to a more active life and improved mental and physical health, but
being part of a team and club also reduces social isolation, helps kids and families to make
valuable community connections, exposes kids to a range of positive role models, and has
been shown to reduce kids’ involvement in criminal activity and drug use. The support of
TS4A makes it possible. We get these kids started in team sport by connecting them with a
local club, getting them registered and paying the fees for them, introducing them to the
team manager and coach, providing them with uniforms, footwear, equipment but most
importantly providing ongoing support to the families via our sports mentors to encourage
long term participation in sport.
