Brief Description of organisation

The MSSA is comprised of street sport enthusiasts and experts that strive to educate the general public about the benefits of participating in street sport with the aim to see the street sport scene thrive. These include BMX, skateboarding, inline skate, scooter, street football, street basketball, parkour.

The objectives of MSSA is to use street sport as a tool to help youth stay away from all sorts of addictions, namely drugs, alcohol, corruption, etc. The organisation promotes and educates people on how to use Street sport to participate in physical activity and conduct a healthy lifestyle. They use their experience and expertise to promote the sports that fall under street sport, so that these become more popular and available to youth, catering particularly to individuals with limitations to adhere to a particular training schedule. They see this as adapting to the current challenge youth are increasingly facing to join popular team sports due to lack of time available or/and with financial difficulties. Sense of belonging is important for youth, and considered crucial for mental health and social wellbeing, among other factors. Street sport offers opportunities which other sports lack, such as accessible for both regular practice and sporadic practice, and in a group or individually. Consequently, this gathers those youth who feel somewhat marginalised because for any reason they cannot be part of a team sports such as traditional sports.
