Quote 3 Just after COVID, I started to go to gymnastics, but …quit it and then I went to Brownies and I still go (School 2).

ALT PowerPoint slide on safety concerns. Quote 1 I was once at the park and the police told us all to leave because there's going to be a big gang fighting, they said (School 1). Quote 2 A couple teenagers set it (park) on fire, yeah. I was there and somebody went and then set it on fire, and everyone was in it like these young kids, and it just started going then burst into flames (School 1). Quote 3 I go (to the park) with an adult, but don't go at night (School 1).

ALT Conclusion slide. Rethinking community sport should involve: Reducing barriers to taking part in sport. Supporting interest in alternative sports and delivery. Messaging to focus on promoting wellbeing. Improving safety within public outdoor spaces. Targeting sport-based interventions for those in primary education during Covid-19.

ALT PowerPoint slide showing quotes from the research. Quote 1. I think self-reflections are a really big important part of being a coach. We don't really speak about it. It's a very personal thing. Quote 2. I accept there has to be evaluation ...but sometimes that becomes excessive and out of proportion to the delivery of the programme.
