Go Sports Mode
Information for young people
Sports Mode is a youth-led initiative making it easier for young people to get active.
We work with schools and community spaces to open up sports facilities outside of normal hours, creating more opportunities for young people to play sport close to home.
Whether you're already active or just looking to try something new, Sports Mode is about making sport more welcoming, affordable and accessible for everyone.
We’re still in construction at the moment, but there’s already opportunities to get involved with the development of Sports Mode!
Are you aged 16-19?
Become a Young Sports Leader
Want to do more than just take part? Interested in sports coaching or helping shape a new youth-led sports platform?
Young Sports Leaders are at the heart of Sports Mode. They help run sessions, welcome participants and inspire more young people to get active. If you're passionate about making sport more accessible and want to develop your confidence and leadership skills, we'd love to hear from you. You don't need any previous coaching or leadership experience and you get a Level 3 qualification with 16 UCAS points.
