There are several political issues that will effect Sportscool, for example our contemporary issues surrounding the country for several years now, which is high levels of child obesity, NHS website suggests that "amongst children (2-15 years of age)one in six boys and one in seven girls in England were obese in 2008. The number of over weight children was also around one in seven." which is what Sportscool suggests its goal is to contribute to bring this problem down.
Another political issue is that, it is a legal requirement for all employees to have a CRB or a Criminal Records Bureau check, this check will search all your police files, to see if an employee has a criminal record all though inconvenient for the employer, it is a very important check, especially with a coaching company as it involves: coaching children possibly with the coach on their own and possibly with no parents watching. So it is essential to know that the company is employing the right people and most importantly, that the clients are safe, In Sportscool's case the children that are being coached. This is also supported by the FA by suggesting "CRB checks play an important part in keeping children and young people safe by helping to prevent unsuitable people from working or volunteering in children’s football."
Although very critical CRB's can also be a long process which could hinder a coaching business because the employee cannot work until the CRB comes through, so unless the company has many coaches it could pose a problem, as the coaching session may not be able to be covered, this will stun the growth of the company and also give it a bad reputation
The biggest political subject that will effect Sportscool the most is the National curriculam this effects Sportscool because schools are Sportscools biggest customers.
The Department of education states that "Michael Gove has set out the direction of travel, and initial funding, for the Coalition Government’s new approach on school sports. Schools will receive funding to allow PE teachers to further embed competitive sport in schools across the country and raise participation.
Every secondary school will receive funding up to the end of the academic year in 2013 to pay for one day a week of a PE teacher’s time to be spent out of the classroom, encouraging greater take-up of competitive sport in primary schools and securing a fixture network for schools to increase the amount of intra- and inter-school competition."
ECONOMICAL
There are many economical issues in society today one of them being the economic climate, basically people have no money to spend, as many coaching sessions are expensive and people cannot afford them, many Sportscool's after school sessions are free to the children, therefore eliminating the issue of being able to afford it, so with a good turn out of children to the after school session, Sportscool will be reaching their goal of getting children involved within sport.
During school holidays if parents have to work and they have children it can be very expensive so with the companies own venue decressing prices per child will resort in more numbers at the holiday clubs, because it is the cheaper option and if the children enjoy it they will go again therefore increasing the reputation of Sportscool.
SOCIAL
There are many reasons why children go to afterschool clubs and reasons why they dont, for example if their friends go to the club then that child will also go as well, this is because they like spending time with their friends which also goes for why they wouldn't go to the club, because they wouldnt know anybody and they wouldn't enjoy it as much.
A big reason why somebody might not go to a club is peer pressure,because at a young age you wonder what your friends think of you, for example if somebody enjoys drama or dancing they might want to go to a drama club, or a dance club, but incase friends laugh at you, you wont go.
TECHNOLOGICAL
The only technology that effects Sportscool is its website this will promote the company and make it more acessable to wider community more than just the local area, It also allows the company to distribute a message easily rather than having to ring around to everyone that will be very time consuming
