Sportivate

Launched on 14th June 2011, Sportivate is a key part of Sport England's London 2012 mass participation legacy plan, "Places, People ,Play", a £135 million initiative which will bring additional funding into grassroots sport.

Sportivate offers those who are not participating regularly in sport (or only for a limited amount of time) the opportunity to take part in 6 to 8 weeks of high quality coaching sessions and supports them to continue playing sport afterwards.
