'An aspirational, high profile programme delivered by Leicester Tigers and Gemeg Ltd, targeting young people not in education, employment or training made possible by the support of Connexions, TNT and the Wooden Spoon Children's Charity.'

The Tigers NEETs programme is specifically for 16-18 year olds presently not in education, employment or training. Delivered by Leicester Tigers, this 10 week programme is based at the Tigers Stadium on Welford Road and will commence on Wednesday the 22nd of February 2012. For 2 days a week (7 hrs) participants take part in a programme of multi-sports and core fitness learning both theory and practical in a fun yet disciplined and professional environment. To compliment the sporting activity, all participants work to gain:

• OCN Level 1 Taking Part in Sport (3 Credits)
• IRB Rugby Ready Certificate
• Aim Award Level 1 in Health and Nutrition (3 Credits)
• Aim Award Level 1 in Strength and Conditioning (3 Credits)

Opportunities to participate and join local clubs along with the added excitement of trips, visits, specialist coaches and Tigers home games, will inspire many to achieve and improve their fitness and prospects. Follow-on courses to compliment and challenge those that achieve and opportunities to pursue further education and participating in sport will provide avenues for all to change their life direction and build a positive future.
