Deliver Sportivate

Sportivate is a nationwide campaign and a direct legacy from 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.

This page is for sports providers and partners involved in the delivery of Sportivate.

ALL Y2 Q4 DATA MUST BE UPLOADED BY 19th APRIL OR ELSE YOUR FUNDING WILL BE RE-ALLOCATED.

OTHER CRITICAL DEADLINES CAN BE FOUND IN THE DOWNLOADS SECTION ON THE RIGHT HAND SIDE.

Wesport manages the delivery of Sportivate across the West of England. If you still have questions after reading all the info supplied on this page, please email Lisa4.Wood@uwe.ac.uk or call Lisa on 0117 32 86254.

Information that deliverers require can be found in the 'Downloads' section to the bottom right of this page including a useful Guidance notes and FAQ document.

The Key Performance Indicators (KPI's) for the Sportivate Programme will be collected via the Sportivate Online Portal. This can be accessed at: www.sportivateportal.org. Deliverers will receive an email introducing them to the portal after their project details have been confirmed with Wesport.

Training on how to use the portal is available to all deliverers via an on-line YouTube video clip:

Accepting applications for Year 3 (April 2013 onwards) Sportivate project plans NOW!

The major delivery plan for Year 3 (April - Sept 2013) has now been submitted to Sport England but we are still happy to accept project plans at any time. Please complete and send to Lisa Wood: Lisa4.Wood@uwe.ac.uk

We are anticipating to be over subscribed in Year 3 so will be stricter in our assessment process. We will look more favourably on plans that show evidence of the following:

- Engagement with their NGB

- A focus on 19+

- A focus on females

- Clear evidence of demand from Young People

- Clear progression into sustainable community activity
