Working with young people in sports<\/h2>\n

At New Directions Education we understand the importance of team work and the powerful and positive impact of sports on young people.<\/p>\n

That is why we partner with professional sports clubs across the UK to encourage young people to get involved.\u00a0<\/p>\n

For almost 20 years we have worked with sports organisations such as Cardiff City Foundation<\/a>, Tranmere Rovers<\/a> and the Catholic Schools Games to deliver opportunities for young people to come together. Read more about our ongoing partnership with Cardiff City FC Foundation <\/a>and Tranmere Rovers.\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n

We host and sponsor sports competitions across our regions and we have had some pretty famous faces grace our football and rugby fields, including Gareth Bale, Aaron Ramsey, David Cotterill, and Sam Warburton.<\/p>\n
