Join In.

How will your club benefit from this Olympic summer of sport?

Introducing Join In Local Sport: A once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for UK sports clubs.
 
One weekend in August.
One celebration of grassroots sports.
One golden opportunity for every sports club in the UK.

Here's why clubs all around the UK are hosting special activities and events for the Join In Weekend.

• Free and simple - It's free to be part of Join In Local Sport and events should be low-cost and simple to run
• Your event - You can run whatever kind of activity or event you like and if you'd like some inspiration, the Join In team will help you with ideas, support and practical advice to help plan your day.
• More people - What would you do with a few more pairs of hands or feet? Whether you need more players, helpers out or supporters, our goal is to get as many local people as you would like to turn up, take part and join in at your club.
• Higher profile - Clubs that host an event will benefit from our extensive marketing, social media and PR expertise. Join In will ensure that as many people as possible know about your event including local and regional press. Your club and event will also be featured on the Join In website.
• Building for the future - What does your club need? A Join In event could help you to reach new and diverse members, or local people who have skills and knowledge that will strengthen your club not just this summer but for years to come.

Here are just a few ways in which the Join In team will be raising publicity for Join In Local Sport events.

• The Join In plaque award: We want to honour community clubs and trainers who have worked with Olympic and Paralympic athletes and sports stars both past and present. Let us know about your local hero.
• Celebrity tweetathons, YouTube viral videos, Facebook campaigns to promote Join In Local Sport events and activities.
• Endorsements from an array of sports ambassadors in the build up to the Join In Weekend.
• Original and exciting publicity campaigns over the course of the weekend creating as many media opportunities as possible.
• Strategic local print and radio campaigns across the UK helping to inspire local people to find Join In Local Sport events near them
• TV, press and radio coverage in the build-up to the Join In Weekend.
• On-going publicity: The Join In events team will be documenting the Join In Weekend to generate even more post-event publicity for local sports clubs.

"We are really happy to support Join In. Millions will be inspired this summer and I hope this creates opportunities in every community for people to join in their local sports clubs."  Seb Coe, Chair of London 2012
