WHAT IS THE ACTIVE SPORTS PROGRAMME ?

A national sporting initiative known as 
'ACTIVE SPORTS' 

This is a lottery-funded scheme where certain sports, including Rugby 
have been targeted for delivery of coaching within a number of schools.

  A number of Clubs and officials have been wondering how this affects Sussex and over the summer we have been working closely with those Clubs identified for Year One activities, along with their respective sports development officers.

With delivery imminent, we can now give details of how the system works and where Clubs enter the scheme.    A full information package has been sent to all identified Clubs and Sussex Officials.    The full programme and all details are available from:

Rugby Development Officer,
Kings House, Grand Avenue, Hove, Sussex BN3 2ST
Telephone 01273 292559 (B)
