Sports development

Introduction

• Are you interested in sport or would like to improve your fitness or general well being?
• Would you like to obtain or develop coaching skills?
• Would you like to try out a sport or physical activity?
• Do you want to join a club?
• Are you a club wanting to improve your facilities, set up new teams or just generally develop what you do?

The answers to these and to many other sport or exercise-related questions can be found at Leisure in Action.

The unit's activities are linked to the seven corporate priorities of Calderdale Council. It aims to meet the needs of Calderdale residents and, through sport and physical activity, improve the quality of people's lives, their health, their fitness levels and general well being.

It aims to increase participation levels and try to help the performance of those already taking part in sport or exercise.

Leisure in Action can provide an advisory service to assist and encourage voluntary organisations to improve their facilities, increase membership and generally develop their status. The unit also covers a broad range of work in the local community throughout Calderdale.

Leisure in Action work in partnership with West Yorkshire Sport.

As well as general information on sports development throughout West Yorkshire, their web site also contains Calderdale-specific information. Visit: West Yorkshire Sport|
