Sport Documentaries and Films

Sport Documentaries and Films

With schools closing and some having closed already as a result of COVID-19 we thought we would compile a list of sport documentaries and films, that could be used to support home learning in physical education.

Of course our preference would be to encourage children and young adults to be active during this unprecedented time, but it may not always be possible, in such cases a sporting documentary or film could provide the stimulus to reflect upon sport, sportsmanship, individual journeys, the sports industry and life more broadly.
