Description
Street League provides 2 hours of training per week of football/basketball and fitness training to organisations within the league. The training sessions take place all over London on a weekly basis. Once a month we hold a matchday where each team plays each other off in the league to establish positions. There are 2 seasons in the year, and at the end of each season we hold a Cup Competition where all the teams plus a number of sponsors (corporate organisations) play in a tournament. Both tournaments take place at Mile End stadium.
We also provice an education programme called Directions 2 Work which includes a number of programmes and certificates including the 'Community Sports Leaders Award', FA coaching certificates, employability skills and various other transferable skills.
May 2007 - note that we're not currently recruiting coaches.
