It’s that time again to get Sportivated.
This isn’t the first time Flipside has mentioned Sportivate, but here’s a quick summary for you again:
If you’re aged between 11-25 and currently play no sport but have a few ideas of sports you would like to join Sportive will help you find relevant club and venues. It also provides finance for some clubs hoping to bring more teenagers into their sport, backed by the national lottery.
LincolnshireSport have recored that: ‘Since the funding first started, over 297,232 teenagers and young adults have so far benefitted from free or discounted six-to-eight week courses in a variety of different sports through Sportivate, with 5,700 benefitting in Lincolnshire alone.’
So if you’re a sports clus, school, leisure facilities and others and want to apply for funding to bring more sports to teenagers contact:

The Sportivate deadline this year is open to projects targeting and looking for women and girls in sport.
The deadline for this is Friday 30th May 2014.
