We’re delighted to share that ASV Energisers is back for 2025/2026’s Block 4!

 

ASV Energisers is dedicated to creating inclusive opportunities for all primary school children to get involved in sport. With free coaching, hot meals, access to facilities, and sports kit, we’re breaking down the barriers to sporting participation whilst energising our local community. Last year, the programme recorded 5,119 sporting participations in the programme! Our next block of sessions will commence Tuesday 28th April and run for 4 weeks, continuing to provide free sporting opportunities and hot meals for local primary school pupils across our city.

 

Block 4 is our smallest block of the year and spaces are expected to book out quickly again. We’re delighted to welcome back some of our fantastic partner clubs for the next block:🏃‍♂️ Aberdeen Amateur Athletics Club,⚽ We Make Footballers Aberdeen,🏓 ASV Table Tennis Academy, 🏊 ASV Learn to Swim. Their continued support allows us to keep breaking down the barriers to sporting participations by delivering high-quality sessions, giving children the opportunity to stay active and inspiring the next generation of young athletes!

 

With under 100 days until the Commonwealth Games, we’re delighted to be championing the ‘All In’ initiative through ASV Energisers and Aberdeen Sports Village’s wider community work. In the lead-up to the Games and across the whole summer holidays, we’re collaborating with local charities, sports clubs and organisations to bring even more free opportunities for local children and families to engage in sport and active lifestyles – so keep an eye out on our social media channels to find out more and if you are interested in getting involved in any way, please do reach out to me!
