Empowering children through sport for a brighter future.
Who We Are and What We Do
Big Dog Sports was set up by a group of sport fanatics who wanted to give something back to the community through the sports that had provided them with so much enjoyment over the years!
Rather than just talking a good game we decided to do something about it. We set up an organisation whose mission is to provide opportunities for everyone to become involved in sport. Our focus is to provide opportunities for children from low-income families to get involved in grassroots sport. Whether this is through our Free coaching sessions or the supply of Free equipment (e.g. football boots, cricket bats) we want to remove barriers to children being able to participate in sport.
Equipped to succeed
Big Dog Sports realise that not all children can excel academically and how important it is to allow them to thrive through other ways. We believe that sport can offer this opportunity. Whether it’s an improvement in their fitness, self-esteem or the chance to compete at a high-level, sport provides endless opportunities for them. It’s therefore essential that they have the correct equipment to allow them to fully enjoy their chosen sport. We are committed to providing equipment to children through our recycled sports equipment scheme that supplies low-income families with a range of sports equipment e.g. football boots, cricket bats etc.
Free coaching!
A core part of what we do is to deliver Free coaching to children who would struggle to attend paid sessions. We provide Free football, cricket and fitness training for all children who receive free school meals. This removes a barrier to entry for a large number of children to playing sport and provides them with a platform to enjoy and hopefully to fall in love with a new healthy activity.
Support for Communities
Big Dog Sports is committed to helping all communities. We pride ourselves on working with a range of backgrounds and cultures and to celebrate the diverse nature of the UK.
“With the support from Big Dog Sports, we have been able to serve our students better than ever.”
