Sports Development

Sports DevelopmentThe Sandwell Leisure Trust ‘Sport and Physical Activity team’ works to develop sports in our area.

We offer courses in lifeguarding and football, and can help you get the funding you need to set up a community sports club. We also help local clubs, schools, voluntary organisations and community groups with outreach events, training courses and activity programmes.

The unit has ‘Quest’ accreditation, a nationally recognised leisure industry standard.

Follow us on Flickr to see some of the activities the team is involved with, or look out for our newsletter!

Do you want to get ‘Back to’ Sport?

Have you ‘never done’ sport, or want to get ‘back to’ it? Our free over-16s’ ‘back to’ and ‘never done’ programmes are funded by the ‘5 x 30 Time to Get Active’ fund – which encourages adults to do five thirty minute slots of exercise a week.

So far, we’ve run programmes in netball, football, golf, jogging, tennis and badminton.

For more information on adult participation programmes at SLT, call 0121 506 4986.

Safeguarding young people

The sports development team supports the National Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children and the Black Country authorities. We believe children have the right to enjoy sporting activities in safety. If something is worrying you, or you are being bullied, download our Safeguarding Young People booklet.
