We have 50s, young mums, college students, teenage girls, and created a network of Club Link Makers that are able to use local level insight to develop those motivated to get active in deprived communities. opportunities appropriate for that community.”
More opportunities for disabled athletes Derbyshire Sport successfully applied to the Sport England Community Sport Activation Fund (CSAF) for a disability sport project and delivery started in 2014/15. During the year, two Inclusive Club and Coach Mentors were engaged to work across four different sports and activities: swimming, boccia, multi-sport and wheelchair basketball.
As a result of their appointments and their subsequent support to clubs, coaches and individual participants, 448 participants have taken part in sessions across the county, totalling 5,503 attendances.
Two Inclusive Community training courses have been delivered to support the delivery of the four main sports.
Three wheelchair basketball hub clubs have been developed, attracting on average 40 people per week across all three sites (Eckington, Heanor and Ilkeston). To make these more sustainable, two new wheelchair basketball coaches have been mentored to gain their level two qualifications and are regularly delivering sessions in the new hubs.
Work is on-going with the ASA to develop a disability pathway for swimming and to promote this to swimming clubs and potential disabled swimmers. In addition the CSAF funding is providing capacity funding to the organisations running the three inclusive cycling hubs that have been set up in the county, at 6 Carsington, Chesterfield and Rosliston. Annual Review April 2014 - March 2015
Sportivate continues to deliver
2014/15 was the fourth year of the Sport England funded Sportivate programme, which aims to increase the number of young people aged 11-15 in regular sporting activity in their local community. Working closely with local authorities, NGBs and voluntary sector partners this was another successful year with over £136,000 distributed to partners to deliver 118 new projects.
2,632 young people were engaged, of which 2088 kept attending regularly. This year saw an excellent variety of sports and activities run across the county providing an alternative offer to attract those that Employees getting active do not normally take part in the traditional sports. More girls (51%) than boys (49%) were retained in the programme which is a big positive.

Getting Derbyshire on the move
Jog Derbyshire continued to introduce non-runners to jogging with partipication and group numbers growing across the county. There are now 95 Jog Derbyshire groups, with 4,063 regular participants. The Jog into January campaign saw 313 new joggers don their trainers and start jogging with Jog Derbyshire.
Pinxton Plodders and Jog Ripley jogger, Zoe Davies, started jogging in 2012 and has since given up a 20-a-day smoking habit, lost four stone and dropped three dress sizes. The 33 year old has taken huge inspiration from' Jog Oakwood’s Facebook page and the blog The Fat Girls Guide to Running (www.toofattorun.co.uk). This year she took part in the Derby 10K. Zoe said: “The hardest step is getting out there; don't go at it alone. If you are new, google Jog Derbyshire and contact your local group. You will not regret it! If you can't make a group, find a friend and get out there. If you can't jog/run go for a brisk walk and build up. Do not let fear put you off. I have wasted far too many years sitting at home saying I can't when I could have been out there meeting new people, doing new exciting things and now I get to shop for new gym/running clothes. Also - don't let size put you off, Jog 7 Derbyshire leaders and joggers do not judge.” A Plan for Sport and Active Recreation in Derbyshire 2012 - 2015
Improving Player Pathways
Improving coaching in the county
Helping coaches improve their knowledge and skills has always been a priority work area for Derbyshire Sport and we have continued to work with partners to enhance this on all levels of the coaching pathway.
The Derbyshire Institute of Sport's (DIS) coaching forum brings the lead coaches from the DIS sports together on a monthly basis to share good practice and learn from each other. Interesting connections are made. A meeting of the lead badminton coach with the DIS physio and strength and conditioning leads has resulted in a change in Grace King's training programme to improve her strength and technique when lunging, thus reducing her injuries.
The third Coaches' Conference in May 2014, hosted by Derby College, was a key CPD event for over 40 Derbyshire coaches. They heard from Nigel Redman, Elite Coach Development Manager, British Swimming and had the chance to interact with a number of nationally recognised experts in topics as diverse as sport and exercise psychology, nutrition, sleep patterns and coaching the teenage athlete. The feedback from the day was very positive.
The Coach Bursary programme continues to be popular with both new and experienced coaches with £16,780 being awarded to 146 coaches. Emma Keen, a member of Long Eaton Swimming Club, was awarded a bursary for Level One Teaching Aquatics. She has gone from helping out poolside when her children joined the club, to completing her level one and level two ASA swimming courses.
Emma said: “The rewards are wonderful… the swimming club and the bursary made this possible. My ambition is turn this into a full time career. I want to train more, aim higher and be the best
swimming teacher I can be.” DSS V School sport continues to excel
Derbyshire Schools' Sports Association (DSSA) and the Sainsbury's Derbyshire School Games continued to go from strength to strength. During 2014/15, over 7,000 young people attended 100 Level 3 school county finals, organised by the DSSA Sport Sections and the School Games Organising Committee.
In October 2014, the Derbyshire School Games was awarded runner-up at the Youth Sport Trust’s School Sport Summit for demonstrating year-on-year progress.
The Derbyshire School Games Event 2014 was the best yet, hosted at Mount St Mary’s College, with 700 competitors from 84 schools competing in 11 showcase competitions, including the inaugural Go Ride cyclo-cross School Games competition. The event was ably supported by 172 young sport leaders, eight young DIS athletes and three Derbyshire Olympians and 8 Paralympians. Annual Review April 2014 - March 2015
More athletes benefit from ICON
The ICON bursary programme is run by Derbyshire Sport in partnership with each of the nine local authorities across the county, securing donations from members of the county's New DIS satellite site business community and re-distributing that finance to the in Chesterfield most talented athletes. Recipients must already compete in sport for England or Great A new Derbyshire Institute of Sport satellite site in Chesterfield was developed in 2014 to Britain, or be part of recognised national development squads or club provide local training facilities for athletes in the north of the county. academy structures.

Each athlete – Queen's Park Sports Centre and the Healthy Living Centre, Staveley. was also given free access to leisure facilities in their locality to further help with their training.

Ilana Freestone and the then Executive Member for Leisure, Culture and Tourism, at Athletes met some of the scheme's contributing members, shared Chesterfield Borough Council, Cllr Amanda Sarjeant. their hopes for the year ahead and received their leisure centre passes. Bursary recipients also received pictorial and editorial “The Staveley site is just five minutes from my school where I am studying for my A coverage in the local media, with some interviewed on local radio and levels and means I can go straight to the gym there after,” said Isobel. “I can also use featured on the Derbyshire Sport website. the sports hall to practise at Queen's Park, as well as the swimming facilities, and it cuts down on the travel to Derby, which can take an hour or more at busy times.” The raison d'être for the scheme and the continued success of it was Isobel Ashley highlighted last summer when 2013/14 ICON recipients, swimmer Adam Peaty (two golds, one silver) and tennis player Liam Pitchford (two silvers, one bronze), each won three medals at the Commonwealth Games in Glasgow.
Two of the DIS athletes included Ella and Alicia Barrett, who supported the Quadkids Athletics competitions, presented at the medal ceremony and judged the Spirit of the Games award. Two months later both were instrumental in the success of the Midlands' athletics team at Sainsbury's 2014 National School Games, winning three of the team's gold medals helping them on their way to being crowned regional team champions.
A Year 6 pupil stated: “I really DERBYSHIRE enjoyed myself. It was great to be part of such a big event and represent my school and district in cycling, as I haven't been able to before.”

Despite starting out as a fitness/basic ball skills sessions, the women's love and enthusiasm for the game has grown over the past two years to the extent where they have moved on to full contact and have already played two matches this year.
The sessions attract anywhere between 15 to 20 women. There is a fantastic mix of abilities and personalities with the participants ranging from those in their 20s to those in their 50s. For many of the women, this has been the first form of sport that they have been involved in since leaving school. As well as learning new skills and improving their overall fitness, the group has a growing social side and has enabled local women to meet each other and make new friends.
The group are led by Gareth Pilkington who is the Chairman at Amber Valley Rugby Club. He has a fantastic attitude towards the women's game and has been instrumental in providing the women with the confidence needed to believe they can play regardless of their age or ability.
“For me it has been a very positive experience and a win-win situation. I get to spend time with my daughter because we both joined the team. I get to spend time with wonderful people that I class as friends and I also get to do exercise. We are made up of a mixed age and ability range and this does not matter as each and every one of us is welcomed with open arms.” Lisa, Participant

New Queen's Park Sports Centre
During the year, Chesterfield Borough Council started building the new Queen's Park Sports Centre on the site of the Queen's Park Annexe. The decision to replace the old centre followed an independent feasibility study into various options which concluded that building a new centre provided the best long-term value for money for the residents of Chesterfield.
The £11.25 million project is paid for by £6.725 million from Chesterfield Borough Council, £2.5 million from Chesterfield College, as part of a dual use agreement, £2 million from Sport England's Strategic Facilities Fund and £25,000 from Squash England.
Initial public consultations took place to determine what would be the best sports mix within the facility and the design then followed. Throughout this process, Chesterfield Borough Council pulled together a group of experts to manage the project, including the Derbyshire Sport facilities lead. The new centre will provide a smaller but better designed building which provides comparable facilities but makes better use of space, eliminating problems like long corridors. It will be fully accessible, highly energy efficient and will minimise future maintenance costs. Chesterfield residents, students and employees will soon have a town centre based facility with the 'wow' factor.

Shooting Stars North East Derbyshire School Sport Partnership is putting the Derbyshire Talent Identification and Development Plan into action. Shooting Stars is a talent and personal development programme for gifted and talented children from years five to seven in North East Derbyshire developed by the school sport partnership. Eight children from each school are invited to try out with a squad of 70 being chosen to be Shooting Stars. Squad members have the opportunity to take part in after school activities with expert tuition and are given support to ensure their sporting talent is nurtured so they can go on to reach their full potential. The Shooting Stars squad are also given opportunities to visit world class venues and use top class facilities throughout the country. During the year the squad had a trip to St George's Park National Football Centre, just over the border in Staffordshire. “We got to use the recovery pool like the England team which was really interesting” Raegan Year 6. A successful Easter Academy for the squad included sessions on sports psychology, sports biomechanics as well as the chance to try some new sports such as archery, cycling, fencing and weightlifting. “Biomechanics taught me to keep my head up and move my feet fast.” Joe, Year 7.

The Active Derbyshire Plan looks to engage people of all ages in physical activity. In October 2014, Derbyshire Sport ran a seminar, attended by 60 partners, which focused on 'The first 10 years – a unique Junior Park Run opportunity'. Speakers at the event explained the importance of getting children active from an early age. Partners in South Derbyshire were already on board with this message. A weekly junior parkrun has been set up, which to date has attracted 1,584 runners, aged 4 to 14 years old. It was funded through the South Derbyshire Health and Wellbeing locality pot and targets vulnerable families in Swadlincote. The sessions are free of charge and completely sustainable as they are supported by local volunteers. So far 127 different volunteers have filled 616 volunteer roles. The Race Director visited local schools to promote the run to the target audience. Four children who have become regular runners are autistic. To help them, additional signage has been put up. DK is a severely autistic child with very complex issues. His mother was keen for him to run with peers and cut the apron strings a little. The first few weeks were accompanied runs with mum, with many start stop situations; wet toes and traffic noise etc. As the weeks have passed he is now running with a 'buddy' instead – another runner who has selflessly foregone his own goals to help DK . DK loves marshalling and would like to be an Event Director when older. Two local families, each with two children, were concerned about their children's fitness and over reliance on TV. Both families are out of work and rely on benefits to survive. The fact that Swadlincote junior parkrun was 'free and non-snobby' was key to their attendance. The children run in non-sports specific clothing and have attended most runs to date. An unexpected bonus is two of the parents, as a result of helping their children run the course, have become fitter and have taken up jogging.
