WWW.SPORTSMANAGEMENT.CO.UK First-year success for HE scheme
More than 46,000 university students have got involved in sport in the first year of Sport England’s Active Universities campaign. The three-year, £8m project is part of work to tackle the issue of drop-off in sports participation that sees many young people giv- ing up sport in their late teens and early twenties. The first results from 40

Lacrosse is one of the sports to see a radical increase in playing numbers - 2,424 students in 39 universities have taken up the sport through the initiative. Paddleboarding and softball were other

ted participants of traditional sports already playing the sport in a more structured envi- ronment, such as the university sports clubs.” Details:
