The £36m Sport Unlimited initiative will offer an estimated 900,000 11- to 19-year-olds in England the chance to enrol in 10-week taster sessions.
The government-funded initiative is being run by Sport England, Youth Sport Trust and county sports partnerships. It is part of a wider push to offer young people five hours of physical activities a week.
