Sports Clubs in the Community

Becoming involved with a community sports club is a fantastic way to enjoy participating in physical activity. There are a large number of sports clubs with junior sections across Warrington and in the outlying areas covering a wide variety of sporting activities for all young people. Find out more about some local club marked sports clubs where you can get involved with sport. The Sports Clubs featured in the Sports Activity Finder have junior sections and have been verified as having achieved (or as working towards) Clubmark, or their National Governing Body’s equivalent (such as Charter Mark or CAPs).

Warrington School Sport Partnership is constantly striving to support local sports clubs with junior sections to achieve the Clubmark accreditation. Once clubs have achieved this quality assurance standard, the Partnership will work further with the club to increase the amount of opportunities for participation for young people, whether recreationally, in competition or in training.

Find out about sports through links to National Governing Body websites.

If you represent a developing and improving sports club, support, advice and information can be found here, or by contacting our School Club Link Officer, Patrick Hendrie, via the contact form on our home page. Further information for clubs and coaches can be found on the Sportscoach UK and the UKCC websites.

Warrington Borough Council’s Club and Coach Development Officer (Tom Haworth) and the School Sport Partnership Club Links Officer (Pat Hendrie) are leading on the establishment of Club Forums. These groups will aim to provide a focal point and voice for local sports clubs, and act as a mechanism to help them to grow, develop and sustain their activity and membership. In the most established Club Forum in the west of Warrington (Great Sankey/Penketh areas), the clubs have already celebrated several joint successes, including the running of several family fun days and a successful funding bid. We would encorage all clubs to become involved with their local Club Forum.
