Give it a Go!

Give it a Go! Free Sports Festival

People of all ages and abilities are invited to be part of the Give It a Go free sports club festival which started on Monday 13 February. Give it a Go! is an Olympic and Paralympic inspired programme to get more people active and taking part in sport in the lead up to the Games next year.

Over 70 different sports clubs across Enfield, Waltham Forest, Barnet and Haringey will be opening their doors for free, to new participants for 6 weeks from Monday 13 February 2012. There will be a wide range of sports to try ranging from swimming, tennis and basketball to dancing, diving and bowls! The best thing about Give it a Go! is that it is completely free for people to take part in.

Charlie Watts, Give it a Go! Coordinator says:

“Give it a Go! aims to capture the interest and enthusiasm for sport in the run up to the 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games. It is a great opportunity for people of all ages and abilities to have a go at a sport they once loved or to try something new in a supportive and welcoming sports club environment. It is also a great opportunity for sports clubs to raise their profile in their local community and hopefully attract new members”

To encourage people to take part in Give it a Go!, there are some fantastic prizes on offer such as the opportunity to win an iPad, iPod, free gym memberships or beauty vouchers plus lots more!
