Sport Makers

Sport Makers

Some do it informally with their friends, neighbours or colleagues. They might organise a kickabout with their mates or a weekly game of tennis with their work colleagues.

Others don’t take part themselves. Instead, they do all the other things that make sport possible, like organising a sports event for their village or managing a team of race volunteers.

Becoming a Sport Maker will give you the knowledge, information and connections to help you make sport happen. You will be one of 40,000 like-minded people who are making a difference to their communities.

You’ll be helping to deliver the official London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games sporting legacy, Places People Play, by inspiring more people to play sport. And you’ll be having a good time doing it.
