“I would say Street League is one of the best opportunities I've ever had. Without it I don't think I would be in my workplace where I am today”

Darren, 21, Glasgow

Made Outside The Classroom.

We believe that school isn't one-size-fits-all. It doesn't work for everyone and certainly isn't the only way to succeed. 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!).
