We've helped clubs remain active whilst at home and now Access Sport are here to support the resumption of activities. 

We know that everyone has been missing their regular club sessions. No matter the sport, they are fun, they are social and exercise is always enjoyable. That's why its so important that when sessions resume participants, parents, coaches and volunteers feel safe. 

Below you will find resources from Sport England Club Matters, Activity Alliance and Cimspa. We will continue to update these over time. If there's anything you're not sure of please contact one of the team.

 

Resuming Activities Survey

We recently asked our clubs and participants for their thoughts and feelings on returning to exercise and how Access Sport can help. We were overwhelmed with responses, Thank You. We are reviewing these and in a few weeks will contact clubs to help address their biggest concerns.
