Inspired by London2012, Sportivate is a fantastic new initiative aimed at 14 to 25 years olds. Sportivate offers free and discounted coaching in a variety of sports and activities in order to give you a taster of just how fun, enjoyable and social sport can be.

The  first year of the Sportivate programme running in Islington saw over 350 young people from the ages 14 – 25yrs take part in FREE sports coaching throughout the Borough.

We are going into Year 2 now and hope to build on the success of year 1 and get more young people in Islington taking part in the Sportivate Programme.

Even if you have never boxed before, have done some a while ago or you are quite competent but lack fitness to get back into the sport of boxing, then the Academy classes are for you. But you do need to come with desires to be competitive. The coaches are all qualified ABA instructors and CRB checked. They will push you hard and expect everyone to try hard and be dedicated. Boxing is a tough sport, but the rewards and enjoyment are very vast in the way of confidence, fitness, self-defense and discipline.

Our Boxing Academy sessions are aimed at all beginners, male, female or children to the sport of boxing who have intentions of going on to compete when fully trained to do so. Everyone enters at a lower level to learn the basic skills and technique that will enable them to be promoted to a higher level of competitive boxing sessions. Sessions include technique, bag work, sparring, skipping, circuits etc. A good level of dedication is needed for boxing and you will be worked hard to gain a high level of fitness

Come along and give the sport a try!!!!

London Eclipse Cheerleading is excited to work with Sportivate to offer the chance to try our sport with Free Cheerleading classes.

An allstar team we will teach you some impressive stunting for guys and girls- we are more ‘bring it on’ than waving poms.

If you are looking for something new and fun, to keep fit and meet new people then come along to our sessions on Thursdays at the Boston Arms (upstairs hall ) from 7.00pm-8.00pm.  No previous cheer experienced needed- beginners are welcomed.
