Sportivate Courses

Sportivate watersports courses in Brighton with Lagoon Watersports.
 
Sportivate is a nationwide campaign that captures the excitement of the London 2012 Games, providing opportunities for teenagers and young adults to receive weekly coaching in a sport of their choice and guiding them into regular participation.
 
Sportivate course at Lagoon Watersports are excellent value for money. Sportivate and Lagoon watersports both part fund the courses to provide unbeatable value courses and discounts for future participation.
 
Sportivate targets young people who may not seek out sporting opportunities themselves or those who are doing sport for a very limited amount of time. The target group was selected for this campaign because research shows that the period in which people leave full time education and start to lead more independent lives is when many stop, and do not resume, regular sports participation. Sportivate will play a role in long term behavioural change by providing new and exciting opportunities.
 
Lagoon Watersports offers a number of Sporivate courses available to groups and individuals. Please see tabs above for current  courses. Groups organisors please email us as we may be in a position to arrange something for your group.

Sportivate Learn to Wake Skate - age 14 - 21

The Sportivate Learn to Wake Skate for ages 14 - 21 is the perfect way for young people introduction to the sport of wake skating.

What is Wake Skating ?

Wakeskating is a water sport and an adaptation of wakeboarding that employs a similar design of board manufactured from maple or from fibreglass. Unlike wakeboarding, the rider is not bound to the board in any way, which gives the sport its own unique challenges.

Instead, the top surface of the board is covered with griptape, (in a similar fashion to a skateboard). Riders usually wear shoes while riding to afford themselves extra purchases on the board, similar to skateboarding.


Using our System 2.0 cable wakeboarding system and professional instruction we can guarantee you success. All specialised equipment is provided, including wetsuits.

The sessions will be 7 x 1 hours, with groups of 4 working with a coach at a time, looking at different elements of the sport.

It is hoped that this will bridge the gap between trying the sport and moving into the club setting. The sessions will be in depth training course including the BWSW Cutting Edge Bronze Award. The training will take participants from no previous experience to a level where participants  can wake skate  confidently, have an understanding of the sport, its background and be able to confidently attend club and practice sessions.
