Take Part in Sportivate

With the London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games just around the corner there has never been a better opportunity to take part in sport and physical activity and be part of the mass participation legacy of the Games.

Sportivate is a nationwide campaign that is capturing the excitement of the London 2012 Games by providing opportunities for teenagers and young adults (aged 14-25) to receive coaching in a sport of their choice and guide them into regular participation within their community.
