Overview
Sportfit encourages 13 to 18 year olds secondary school students to be physically active throughout their lives.

Sportfit evaluation 2008
In 2008 SPARC commissioned an evaluation of Sportfit to inform decision making for secondary school sport and recreation. Reports such as this can help guide programme development, service provision, coordinated delivery and - ultimately - increased participation by young people. While the reports will help inform SPARC decision making, SPARC does not necessarily agree with all of the findings. The report is published for our sector partners and secondary schools to draw from the material as they wish.
