Young Person Talented Athlete Scheme

Introducing the Rossendale Rising Stars Scheme at Rossendale Leisure Trust, offering free gym, swim, and fitness class memberships to support junior athletes aged 11-25 in reaching their sporting goals.

We are pleased to introduce the Rossendale Rising Stars Scheme at Rossendale Leisure Trust, designed to support junior athletes aged 11–25 by providing free fitness memberships. This membership includes access to our gym, swimming facilities, and fitness classes, offering the resources needed to enhance their training and achieve their sporting goals.

This initiative reflects our commitment to fostering both progression and inclusion, ensuring that talented young athletes, regardless of background, have the opportunity to develop their potential. Whether their sport requires strength, endurance, or agility, our facilities are equipped to support their training and performance needs.

Applicants must live, train, or attend school/college in the Rossendale area, and must be competing at a regional level or higher in their chosen sport.

The Rossendale Rising Stars Scheme also aims to help young athletes balance their athletic development with overall well-being, offering a supportive environment that promotes both physical fitness and mental health. It is designed to empower young athletes in the community to pursue their ambitions and reach the next level of their sporting journey.

We encourage all eligible athletes to take advantage of this fantastic opportunity!
