We know that not everyone succeeds at school, but we also know that everyone can succeed outside of it. At Street League, you can play sport everyday, learn key skills and get the qualifications you need to get a job and get paid. It’s not about having mad football skills or dancing like Beyonce, it’s about having the determination to move into work (and having fun at the same time!).
