The provision of Recreation services is to enable pursuit of both indoor and outdoor sporting and recreational activities whilst providing equality of opportunity and to improve the quality of life for all sectors of the Southampton Community. The service encourages the community as a whole, but in particular those groups which are traditionally under represented, which include young people, women and girls, disabled people, black and ethnic minority people, the elderly, the unwaged and those people on low income. The service offers a varied programme of activities through the provision of centre operated courses, the development of centre based clubs and general recreation sessions.
Opportunities exist for all abilities from foundation to the ultimate excellence level.
