Get Back to Sport
with Wigan Sports Development
Wigan Sports Development’s ‘Back to Sport’ programme is now entering it’s fourth year, following it’s introduction in 2008. The programme is funded by Ashton, Leigh and Wigan Primary Care Trust and encourages adults to get active by taking part in a range of sporting and recreational activities.
The programme creates opportunities for people to return to sport or try sport for the first time. Whether you are looking to play recreational sport, meet new friends, access coaching from fully qualified and experienced coaches or play competitive sport against players of a similar standard, then Back to Sport is for you.
Wigan Sports Development currently work in partnership with local organisations and clubs to develop a range of sports specific, multi-sport and physical activity sessions to help to increase adult participation across the borough.
How to get involved
If you are an individual or a group that are interested in taking up regular sports activities where you can get fit, active and socialise with like-minded people then check out our list of Back to Sport sessions.
For those with a more competitive side we will be organising a number of events and competitions throughout the year so keep a look out for these on the website.
If you’re involved in a club that are looking to increase the number of members or are part of a workplace/community group interested in becoming more active then contact Wigan Sports Development for more information or to suggest an activity in your area. Funding grants available to support the development of new and existing sessions so please contact us with any ideas you may have.
You can also get involved in Back to Sport sessions by volunteering or coaching, with funding available to support individuals in gaining qualifications to support the development of a strong sporting infrastructure in Wigan.
