About

Welcome to Going for Gold - a site to help and inspire you in getting into a sport!

Whether you’ve played sport before, fancy a sport but have never tried it, want to find a team to support or to volunteer to help - here you’ll find useful information, “how to” guides and resources. We’ll make it easy to find a sport that suits you, with enough detail for you to get started.

And with the London Olympics only four years away, it’s a great time to get involved in sport. We’ll keep you updated with news on the Beijing and the 2012 games.

In disability sport, more options are opening up all the time. If you’ve a disability - or know someone with one - you may be surprised how many sports can be played, some on even terms with everyone. There is a strong UK team for the 2008 Paralympics - find out more in the Events section.

A good way to start is by looking through the sports section, or by checking the Getting Started page.
