  2. sports coaching to primary schools to help kids fit and prevent obesity in children it is used as it is cheaper than using supply teachers.
    There was a gap in the market because a new law came in where teachers were allowed to spend 10% of their working time at home planning lessons so they had to get in supply teachers to cover for this time.

    ii) This gap in the market occured because the childhood obesity was becoming a serious problem and head teachers cant supply teachers to do this so james thought it would be a good idea to provide coaches.

  4. i)Sportstars provides schools with sport activities and coaches to improve childrens health.
    ii)A gap in the market occured because child obesity was going up and because teachers were allowed time out of their classrooms to plan future lessons and mark books but instead of getting cover teachers they could just hire sportstars.

  5. Sportstars provides cheap coaching to get children active and doing sports. They wanted to help fight the problem of obesity in children.

    The gap in the market occoured when a law was passed that meant that teachers had to spend 10% of their time away from school. This meant that head teachers had to cover teacher absent teachers and sportstars offered coaches cheaper than supply teachers.
    It also helped by geting children healthy.

  6. i) sportstars provides schools with coaches to help with childrens health.
    ii) the gap in the market was teachers had to have 10% to mark books and to plan lessons the gap here was that they will need to get more people to fill in when they arent there and that was the oppertunity for them to go and do something with the children. the other gap was that obesity was becoming a problem.

  10. i) the service SportsStars gives is coaching children at sports and they targeted primary schools because head teachers had to give the normal teachers time of to plan lessons and so instead of paying alot of money for a supply teacher they can just pay less for sports stars and this also helps the increasing amount of child obesity in the UK.

  12. i) SportStars provides schools with sports coaches for the times when teachers are absent.
    ii)The gap in the market occured because this idea was orgionally started in the US. He dicided to start up this idea in the UK. There is also an increasing problem with obesity in th UK and this is a great idea to try and tackle child obesity. It is also cheaper to hire than supply teachers, so therefore it is a very strong gap in the market.

  13. sportstars provides the service of covering for teachers, the head teachers would book atime with the sportstars coachs, then the coachs would provide the pupils with a wide range of activitys and active games and in doing that getting the pupils active and fit.
