SPORTIVATE

Funding for local clubs and organisations to boost the level of

activity amongst the 14-25 year olds

Sportivate

Sportivate is a nationwide campaign that forms part of the Places, People, Play Olympic legacy programme by the Government and Sport England. It will continue the Legacy of London 2012 by providing attractive and sustainable sporting opportunities for teenagers and young adults in the sport of their choice within their community.

Sportivate

• The programme will target people who are not participating regularly in sport and will support them to continue playing sport after the 6-8 weeks of Sportivate sessions come to an end.

• Providers need to demonstrate that they have intelligence that participants want to take part in that particular sport/activity and that it can be delivered locally with suitable exit routes in place for participants to continue taking part.

Sportivate – Target age• Sportivate is targeting those aged 14-25 who may not

seek out sporting opportunities themselves and would not prioritise doing sport in their own time. These people might be described as semi-sporty.

• The target group was selected because research has shown that the period in which people leave full time education and start to lead more independent lives is when many stop and do not resume regular sports participation.

Criteria for Funding• 6 consecutive weeks of coaching must be delivered• There must be an identified need for the project• There must be a confirmed exit route for the project

with the capacity for increased numbers of participants• Sportivate funding will not 100% fund any activity• Project need can be identified through any young

peoples survey
