Sportivate

The Sportivate programme is a nationwide campaign to capture the excitement of sport. It will give teenagers and young adults (aged 14-25) the opportunity to receive between 6 and 8 weeks of coaching in a sport of their choice and encourage them into regular participation.

We will shortly be launching a number of Sportivate projects in the local community, so check this page for updates.

We are currently working in partnership with the youth workers at Whaddon youth centre to provide a Tuesday evening football project for 14-19 year olds.

Over the summer holidays the team delivered a series of outdoor park sessions at Clyde Crescent field, whilst supporting a successful junior football tournament.

Ongoing projects funded by Sportivate include Olympic after school clubs in Archery and Water Polo. In partnership with Deer Park Archers and Cheltenham Swimming & Water Polo Club, pupils have the opportunity to experience 6 weeks coaching in these Olympic sports.
