South Derbyshire Talent Academy

If you are an athlete looking to realise your potential, help is at hand.

The South Derbyshire Talent Academy launched in July 2022 to replace the Sports Pass and Grant scheme.

Active South Derbyshire, in partnership with South Derbyshire District Council and Everyone Active offer a scheme of support aimed at encouraging the development of sporting excellence in South Derbyshire.

The South Derbyshire Talent Academy is designed to aid talented local sports people to realise their potential, whether it be at County, Regional, National, or International level.

You can find out more about the scheme here . Details on the 2027 scheme will be shared in December 2026.
