Spark Active

05/06/2026

Our CEO had a valuable morning with the Spark Active School Games Organisers yesterday. They came back with positive ideas from the Your School Games Conference on Wednesday. We are hoping to implement a full project approach next year which will help to really impact on tackling inequalities with young people that need the most support. Youth Sport Trust.

MIND THE🎾GAP
We want to close the gap in women and girls’ participation in tennis and sport.
Why❔
Women often feel they have nowhere to play or no one to play with, are less confident in their ability, and girls are less likely to play competitively meaning many aren’t playing weekly🙁
Rally Together tackles this by offering FREE, beginner‑friendly, weekly sessions and a supportive community of women and mums💪

Why is our new community project 'Rally Together' important❓
4 in 10 women are NOT active enough to ensure full health benefits✖
13 million women said they'd like to do more sport and physical activity🎾
313,600 fewer women than men are regularly active🏃‍♀️
Only 1 in 10 women from lower-income backgrounds feel they belong in the world of physical activity🏸
Rally Together is a FREE tennis project located in 3 Erdington parks for women and children to develop friendships and be active!
