Five-time Olympic champion Sir Steve Redgrave took part in a game of dodgeball with students from Southfields Academy in south London to promote an initiative aimed at getting more young people involved in PE and school sport.
The Sporting Promise programme is a grass-roots initiative that provides access to alternative sporting activities in secondary schools.
Sir Steve was also joined by Maggie Alphonsi, one of England’s top female rugby players and a Youth Sport Trust ambassador, for the dodgeball game.
Sporting Promise has been running for three years and has already reached an estimated two million young people. It is run by the Youth Sport Trust in partnership with Matalan and Sporting Pro.
