London 2012 gave a great boost to sport in the UK. It showcased Olympic and Paralympic talent, of course, but it also encouraged everyone to get active. As we approach the first anniversary of London 2012, we remain determined to sustain the momentum and build a lasting Olympic and Paralympic legacy here in Winchester and community sports clubs are key! In the City of Winchester and its surrounds, we are fortunate to have many fantastic sports clubs. Some have been part of our community for over a century. Others have been established more recently, to meet the ever increasing demand for high quality sports and recreational provision in Winchester. Community sports clubs offer excellent teaching and coaching at affordable prices, thanks in part to their strong volunteer base. They have good links into their communities, and bring together people from a range of social and cultural backgrounds. Many sports clubs have a vibrant social side, too! Through their activities, community sports clubs deliver the Olympic and Paralypmic legacy by improving peoples health and well-being, identifying and developing sporting talent, and promoting social cohesion and a sense of belonging. Several clubs in the Winchester Fit for the Future network (www.fit4thefuture.org) have put together case studies for this Guide to Winchesters Community Sports Clubs. The case studies are grouped by sport, with a multi-sport entry for University of Winchester SU at the end of the guide. I hope this guide gives you a sense of whats on offer locally and helps you get involved whether you wish to try a new sport, improve your skills, join a new team, volunteer, or coach. However, the guide is a taster, not a comprehensive directory. It focuses on sports provision in the City of Winchester and its immediate environs. If you are looking for a club or sport that isnt featured in the guide, or for provision elsewhere in Hampshire, you will find the Sport Hampshire and Isle of Wight database a helpful resource. You can access it online at www.getactivehampshireiow.co.uk My sincere thanks go to all the clubs that took time to draft case studies for this guide, and to Liz Livingston of Park Corner Design in Winchester for her fantastic work on brochure design and layout. We are also grateful to Twenty17 for sponsoring the printing of this Guide. Based in Winchester, Twenty17 offers inspirational talks to schools and colleges, and professional development services to teachers and coaches. A true community effort!
