The decision by Sport England to recognise stoolball as a sport has led to a lot of welcome publicity for the sport in regional press, on BBC radio and television and on the BBC sport website. The Argus, in particular, wants to hear from players what they think the decision means for the sport. We’d like to see as many comments as possible to promote the game.

Sport England, the government agency responsible for advising, investing in and promoting community sport, has recognised stoolball as a sport. This decision follows six years of work by everyone at the National Stoolball Association, and in particular by the chairman and secretary, John and Kay Price. Recognition supports stoolball’s recent inclusion in the National Curriculum for schools and means stoolball clubs, villages and sporting groups can apply for more funding.
