The Sport Pedagogy Network was established in 2011. It was started by Prof. Dr. Kathleen Armour from the University of Birmingham in England with the following co-convenors: Prof. Dr. Hans Peter Brandl-Bredenbeck, Universität Paderborn, Germany, and Dr. Fiona Chambers, University College Cork, Ireland.

Sport Pedagogy is a field that brings together researchers who are interested in the academic spaces where sport and education come together. It includes physical education, sport coaching and relevant aspects of sport policy, and focuses on the needs of diverse learners in settings such as schools, family and community.
