Year One Sportivate Results Published
More than 80,000 young people nationally have been inspired to do sport in their own time in the first nine months of Sport England's Sportivate Olympic and Paralympic Legacy initiative.
Figures released today show that almost 50,000 of the 14-15 year olds have got involved in sport in the past three months alone as the excitement around a home Games takes hold. All teenagers and young adults have received six weeks of coaching in a sport of their choice, missing no more than one session.
For more information visit the Sport England webpage.
Within Coventry, Solihull & Warwickshire 1,500 teenagers and young adults have been involved in the Sportivate programme, with 1,200 of these attending a minimum of 5 out of 6 sessions, showing that the programme is already helping to transform lives.
What is Sportivate?
Organisations/clubs/bodies are encouraged to apply for Sportivate funding. Sportivate is a Lottery funded grants programme linked to the 2012 Olympic Legacy Strategy ‘Places, People, Play’ and aims to get more 14-25 year olds into participating in sport on a regular basis.
Sportivate funding is available for projects to deliver six consecutive one hour weekly coaching sessions to give participants a taste of an activity they have not tried before, in order to engage them and encourage them to continue to participate in a community setting.
Delivery should be aimed at semi-sporty teenagers and young adults i.e. those who may not seek out sporting opportunities themselves and would not prioritise doing sport in their own time or those who are doing sport for a very limited amount of time.
There will be two opportunities to apply for funding each year until 2015
