Sport Unlimited is an innovative youth sports programme from Sport England which cascades funding to local communities via the county sports partnerships network, in the case of Bromsgrove via the Sports Partnership Herefordshire & Worcestershire and with combined funding from Worcestershire Schools Extended Services.

The Sport Unlimited programme started its first year in 2008 and its third and final year draws to an end in March 2011.

It’s targeted at youngsters aged 5-19 years old who may have some interest in sport, but aren’t particularly engaged with community or club sport. 

Bromsgrove District Council's Sports Development Team has worked alongside North Worcestershire School Sport Partnership and Extended Services to develop a comprehensive programme of sport and active recreation opportunities to increase opportunities for young people.

The programme of activities has been developed utilising consultation from children and young people about the type and range of activities they would like to engage in, whilst also endeavouring to address some of the shortfalls in provision within the district for certain sports.

Previous programmes include Trampolining, Sailing, Skateboarding, Street Dance, Dodgeball and Archery.  These sit alongside more traditional sports such as Hockey, Rugby and Tennis, usually delivered on school site where they are more inclined to try the activity and encouraged to continue into a Club environment.

Wherever possible a local sports club has been identified and worked with in order to provide an exit route for anyone who participates in the activities offered.  Sports Development aims to work with Club Mark accredited clubs or clubs who have demonstrated a commitment to achieving Clubmark.
