Sport
There are many opportunities to have fun with sport in East Hampshire.
Sports Development
The council wants everyone in the district to have the chance to take part in sport or another activity they enjoy. We work with partners like clubs, schools and national sporting organisations to help promote and develop sports opportunities in the district.
Get Active Directory
If you want to find a club or group to try a new activity, take part in a sport you enjoyed at school, or get back into a sport you haven't played for a while, this is for you.
The Get Active Directory also enables local providers of physical activity, sport and leisure opportunities to upload their club or groups details to promote to local residents.

Club and Coach Development
Promoting and developing opportunities for people in sport at all levels from grass routes through to performance.
Joint Sports Council
The Joint Sports Council (JSC) is an umbrella organisation which oversees Sports Councils from across the district. Representatives from Alton and Bordon Sports Councils currently sit on the JSC and it is actively seeking new representatives to revive the Sports Councils in Petersfield and Horndean.
The JSC works in close partnership with East Hampshire District Council and regular events are organised such as the recent free Finance Seminar.
Hampshire Games
This is a county wide event aimed at getting more people involved in sport. There are four events which take place:
- Parallel Games - For young people with disabilities
- Youth Games - For young people in secondary schools
East Hampshire District Council works closely with local sports clubs, youth groups and schools to provide a range of coaching programmes and taster sessions to encourage participation and develop club links. Teams are then selected to enter and compete against other local authorities across the district.
