The OKI Street Sixes Youth League is 6 a-side football league established by Gosport Police in 1999 as a crime diversion scheme targeting children living on the Rowner Estate. Today the league, under the guise of the OKI Street Sixes Youth League, involves over 500 young people in Gosport and Fareham districts of Hampshire.

In June 2006, at the inaugural OKI Street Sixes Youth Festival, OKI Printing Solutions announced a partnership with Hampshire Constabulary to support the existing leagues and work together towards developing the initiative across the region. This was given further support in October 2006 when Portsmouth FC player, Sol Campbell was announced as the league's ambassador.

The league offers the opportunity for boys and girls from the ages of 7-17 to play football, free of charge, on a weekly basis throughout the season. It's system of allocating red and yellow cards for anti-social behaviour off the pitch as well as the sporting opportunity it provides on the pitch, has led to a reduction in crime in the area, showing a benefit to the greater community.
