When schools out, fun’s out.
Lets go sports mode.
What is sports mode, and why do we exist?
Sports Mode is a youth-led platform unlocking access to sport by partnering with schools, colleges, parks, and community spaces to open up their facilities outside of school hours. We want to create free or low-cost sessions so young people can get active in their local area, especially those who lose access to PE after Year 11 or face barriers like cost or distance.
We exist because too many young people are cut off from sport when it should be part of everyday life. Whether it’s unused pitches or closed-off halls, our mission is to turn those spaces into active, welcoming places where movement, play, and community can thrive — no matter your background.

Could you be a venue host?
Have a school, hall, or sports space sitting empty after hours? Open it up for young people in your area through Sports Mode. We’ll handle the bookings, support logistics, and bring your space to life with free or low-cost sessions for the community.
