A school has links with a club when pupils are actively guided towards club activities, either in a quality assurance setting at the club itself, or on school premises. Activities on the school premises would include regular coaching sessions and out-of-hours clubs organised by the club’s coaches, but would not include one-off taster sessions. 2006 PESSCL (PE, School Sports Club Links) survey support documents
