From volunteering at a charity fun run to challenging your friends on the tennis court, there are plenty of fun ways to get involved in sport across London.
So dig out your trainers, hunt down those sweatbands and get your adrenaline pumping!
London Winter of Sport
The London Winter of Sport offers free sports coaching sessions to Londoners at any of 100 community sports clubs and 18 school sport partnerships.
Sports range from athletics to wheelchair basketball and include major sports like football, alongside less well-known disciplines such as parkour and lacrosse.
The initiative runs until the end of March 2009. You can find your nearest event on the London Winter of Sport website.
Where to Play Sport in Your Area
If you've been inspired by the Olympics to get back into sport, you may need a helping hand to find out what sporting facilities are available in your local area. Active Places is a great online resource that helps you track down sporting venues across England.
Looking to try your hand at anything from golf to ice-skating? Simply enter your postcode or the type of sports facility you're looking for, and you're off!
Sports Training and Courses
Looking to take your passion for sports to the next level and build a career in physical activity and sports development? Then look no further than Pro-Active London. Part of Sport England, this comprehensive website lists the details of training workshops and courses running across London.
Pro-Active London covers everything from first aid to qualifications in gym instructing, it's a great resource for teachers, coaches and referees looking for that important accreditation.
Volunteer for Events
Not only does volunteering make you feel good, it also has plenty of perks – not least getting exclusive access to events and festivals. At 2012 Volunteering Legacy there's a wide range of sporting and non-sporting events you can volunteer for right now.
So if you'd love to get involved in the Umbrella Fun Run 2008, Spitalfields Winter Festival, or perhaps the London 2012 Paralympic Games Handover Ceremony, this is the place to go.
Get Involved in the 2012 Olympics
It's not every day that the Olympics comes to London, so make sure you'll be in the centre of the action in 2012 by signing up to be a volunteer. To help the organisers put on the 2012 London Olympic and Paralympic Games, an estimated 70,000 volunteers will be needed. Get Involved is the home of the Olympics' Volunteer Programme and the place to go to register for updates and show your interest.
