Try something new with a Sportsister recommended course. Join one of Sportsister’s endorsed courses and enjoy trying a new sport this year. Aimed at beginners, with friendly tuition, they’ll get you out of the starting blocks.

The best way to get started in a new sport is to take part in a course. It allows you to have a go in a safe, organised and fun environment, often with like-minded people.

We’ve teamed up with three different courses to organise a special course specifically for Sportsister readers. We hope you’ll enjoy the courses that we have hand selected and look forward to meeting you at them.
