Norwich Youth Offer

What a young person aged 11 to 16 can actually go and do in Norwich: clubs and classes that take juniors, and the free courts, skateparks and tracks they can just turn up to. Every club below was checked by our research agents against its own website, league tables or council record.

“DCMS should commit to creating a bespoke, child-friendly online directory of youth services including sport facilities and clubs, broken down by local authority … a list or map showing the local sport and physical activity clubs and sessions available to them.”

    How it was built

    From every club in the city to the ones that take teenagers

    This page reuses our Norwich club register proof of concept and adds one extra pass: a check of each club for junior provision. A club counts as confirmed when its own pages give an age range and show activity in 2025 or 2026. Everything else is labelled “to confirm”, so nobody is sent to a session that has stopped.

    What the data shows

      For councils and Active Partnerships

      The same youth offer for your area

      • Every club, class and session for 11–16s in your area, found, checked for junior provision and dated
      • Free self-directed spaces: courts, skateparks, BMX tracks, outdoor gyms and parks
      • Data you own and can publish openly, ready to feed the directory or finder you already use, OpenActive, or a Locaria finder of your own
      • A regular refresh, so closed clubs drop off and new ones appear

      It answers the CSJ’s call for a local directory of clubs and spaces for young people, and gives councils mapping their youth offer under DCMS’s Local Youth Transformation guidance a start that includes grassroots clubs as well as registered organisations.
