What is Active Sports?

Active Sports is a five-year development programme targeting nine sports. Building on current good practise, the programme’s main aim is to help young people get more from their involvement in sport.

As well as England Basketball and local clubs, Active Sports will involve the full commitment of local authorities, education services and schools. By working in partnership we can deliver a comprehensive range of sports development opportunities for basketball in specifically selected areas around the country.

For those young people that have an interest, this programme will give them easier access to our sport at club level, and then help them improve to be the best that they want to be.

How it works?

Guided by the Active Sports Manager and our Regional Development Officers, our Basketball Action Groups will be charged with finding out what their needs to make Active Sports a working reality for them.

In addition there will be a range of supporting services provided by the Sports Partnership to help all the sports with their development and training programmes for coaches, volunteers and clubs, ensuring the activities are of the highest standards and reaching young people in every part of their area.

Active Sports and Basketball

England Basketball has invested considerable thought and effort in planning how to make Active Sports work for our sport.

We have produced a detailed framework that we believe will deliver the best results for basketball.
