The benefits that sport bestows on society are well known. Physical activity funnels the natural energy of children while ingraining valuable life skills such as determination, perseverance and teamwork. A youth sporting culture is likely to lead to a healthier, more active lifestyle when children grow into adults.

When the pocket space is within a community, it gives a platform to the people to help each other to encourage and to exchange creati vity with each other.

1. Using pocket spaces existing in and around community spaces as a mean to nurture sports and grassroots level programs, and in the process tackling the social issues. 2. Linking these pocket spaces to a main/mother programme, which will encourage the athletes playing in these pocket spaces to play and to develop further. 3. Involving communities in the development of pocket spaces, which help in encouraging the young athletes.
