The Premier League 4 Sport (PL4S) initiative has successfully been running since 2009 and has locally engaged with 2089 young people and with recent funding success the project will now run until 2013.
The PL4S project is a participation initiative that offers young people aged 11 - 19 the chance to experience Olympic disciplines judo, badminton, table tennis and the additional sport hockey, all as part of its 2012 legacy plans, it will also address the drop off in sports participation when young people leave secondary school.
Bolton Wanderers Community Trust (BWCT) will continue to work in partnership with local community clubs; Bolton Lads and Girls Club, Forest badminton club, Farnworth Table Tennis Club, Bolton Hockey club and the newly formed Ghosia Judo club, to allow access to top quality coaching and development.
Back in 2009, Bolton Wanderers first team due Tamir Cohen and Gretar Steinsson helped to support the launch of the Premier League 4 Sport project.
Cohen and Steinsson's time was spend meeting secondary school pupils from across Bolton and participating in short games of the four sports which are being promoted through the three-year project.
Cohen said: "It's good that the Premier League and the government are doing all they can to get children involved in a wide range of sports."
Steinsson added: "It's important that people get involved with sports. It is an enjoyable and sociable way to stay fit and healthy, and campaigns like these shows how seriously the Premier League takes its commitment to sport all throughout the country."
Bolton Wanderers Football Club is 1 of 20 Premier league top-flight clubs that run the Premier League 4 Sport project within their communities.
Working with the sport’s governing bodies, the Youth Sport Trust and Sport England, Bolton Wanderers, along with the other Premier League clubs, aim to get more young people, aged between 11 and 19, to join local sport clubs in the four Olympic sports during the remaining 2 years of the project.
Premier League 4 Sport will build on the success of the Premier League's current community programme and aims to get children from all backgrounds involved in non-traditional, club-based sport.
Prime Minister Gordon Brown and Premier League Chief Executive Richard Scudamore launched the 'Premier League 4 Sport' scheme earlier this year.
The Prime Minister said: "This initiative is great news for young people and communities and will help get thousands more teenagers participating in sports over the next few years, building on our goal to get young people doing five hours of sport a week.
"The Premier League, under Richard Scudamore's leadership, has shown a continuing commitment to community sport and shown how the power of football and strong links with clubs can be used to engage young people and strengthen communities.
"In the run up to 2012, we want to see more young people getting involved in sport. These new clubs are an excellent example of the how the Olympic legacy will benefit people right across the country for years to come and how the Games can be used to inspire more people to get active."
Premier League Chief Executive Richard Scudamore said: "Premier League clubs are at the heart of their communities, delivering quality projects that tackle a range of important issues. In fact, under the banner of our Creating Chances community initiative, over 1.4 million people took part in the many different activities run by our clubs last season.
"Premier League 4 Sport will build on this existing work, encouraging young people who love football to think about taking up another sport. With the pedigree that our clubs have in delivering projects I am confident it will be a huge success."
