Game On launched in 2020 and is a collaborative project funded by Nike and delivered by LFC Foundation. The aim of the programme is to help young people across Merseyside access and benefit from a range of sports in their local area, as well as providing coaching opportunities through a new coaching academy.
The programme supports young people aged seven to 12 from underserved communities and children of all abilities by providing them with opportunities to become members of local, diverse sports clubs and play a variety of sports.
In the first three years of the programme, more than 8,000 children have been engaged, with coaching delivered in more than 15 different sports.
