Sport Makers
Are you a 'doer'?
Do you like to organise sport? If you're over 16, the Active Sussex Sport Makers programme can provide you with a free introductory workshop, support and guidance and the opportunity to make your own game...
What are Sport Makers?
Sport Makers are the people who make sport happen. They are the organisers, the 'doers', the ones you can rely on to get things started or keep them going.
They might be organising sport informally for themselves and their friends by:-
- Organising a friendly tennis session for work colleagues
- Rounding up some mates for a regular five-a-side football session
Or maybe they won't take part themselves, but will do all those things that make sport possible, such as:-
- Organising a fundraising fun run
- Volunteering at an existing sports event, such as the Brighton Marathon or Race for Life
- Creating a multi-sport event or festival for the local community with other people.
Does that sound like you? If so, read on…

How do I become a Sport Maker?
Becoming a Sport Marker is easy. First, come to an informal workshop where you will explore some of the benefits of being involved. At the same session you can:
- Work out how to get sport or activity sessions going with friends, colleagues or the community
- Find opportunities to get involved in making sport happen in your area
You can choose whether to go a smaller workshop with around 20 other Sport Makers, or a larger convention with about 100. You and your friends can arrange to come to the same event.
After the workshop it’s over to you. We will support you with advice, information, connections and resources and you’ll also get free Adidas kit.
Why become a Sport Maker?
It is totally flexible. Choose any sport and who you want to do the sport with – it's entirely up to you.
It’s extremely rewarding. You will meet other people interested in sport and gain access to resources that will help you organise your own activities. You may also develop new skills useful in other areas of your life, adding to your CV in the process.
You’ll be part of the official London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic legacy. You will be part of a movement of 40,000 Sport Makers nationwide who will help to create new opportunities for lots more people to play sport.
Last, but not least… You get free stuff. As well as receiving official Adidas kit, once you start to make sport happen there’ll be chances to win some exciting rewards.
