Young people and sport in England 1999: A survey of young people and PE teachers, Main report, 2001 This report of the findings from the second national survey of ‘Young People and Sport’ provides both some good news and some bad news for sport in England. The good news is that among secondary school-aged young people in particular the range of opportunities and levels of sporting involvement remain impressively high. Over the last five years sports like cricket, tennis and rugby, although not seeing significant increases in participation, have at least held their own and there are no signs of these sports being ‘in crisis’ as far as young people’s participation is concerned. We have also witnessed significant growth in the popularity of football and, importantly, started to see a growth in participation by girls, which may herald the opening up of a major new sporting opportunity in what has historically been a male dominated sport.
