ALTERNATIVE SPORTS
We love trying new sports and activities, giving our coaches new challenges and giving everyone who attends a Go Active Cornwall coaching session the opportunity to try something truly different!
SPORTS
OFFERING A HUGE SELECTION OF EXCITING SPORTS AND ACTIVITIES
Archery
Archery is a precision sport with competitors needing to demonstrate extreme levels of concentration and mind control as well as physical ability. It is an ancient sport which has its roots in medieval times.
It has since become a popular pastime and competitive sport and has featured in the summer Olympic Games on and off since the early 1900s.
Dodgeball
The best thing about dodgeball is that pretty much everyone can play. Guys and girls, big and small, skinny and less skinny, older and younger. Even Justin Bieber fans.
The balls are official UK dodgeballs, designed for safety as well as playability, suitable for everyone.
Fencing
Fencing is the activity of fighting with blades. The most common version of fencing today, also called olympic fencing or competitive fencing.
This is divided into three weapon categories: foil, sabre and épée. Classical fencing uses the same three weapons, but approaches fencing as a martial art.
Handball
Handball is one of the fastest team sports and requires high levels of dexterity, stamina and physical fitness.
It involves teams of seven players using their hands to pass or dribble a ball up a court, ultimately aiming to throw it into their opponents goal.
Street Surfing
Street surfing appeals to everyone, thanks to its innovative technology that combines the natural fluidity of surfing with the smooth manoeuvrability of snowboarding and skating. With our expert tuition you will learn to perform precision 360s, carve downhill, and even ride uphill in no time at all.

Rocket Ball
We’ve introduced this dynamic high energy sport to help develop children’s hand-eye coordination. Rocketball provides a modern twist on traditional Lacrosse that enables it to be introduced to all children.
It’s great fun and helps develop children’s speed, agility and hand-eye coordination.
Ultimate Frisbee
Ultimate Frisbee is an exciting, non-contact team sport, played by thousands the world over. It mixes the best features of sports such as Soccer, Basketball, American Football and Netball into an elegantly simple yet fascinating and demanding game.
To compete at the top level, Ultimate players require an unmatched degree of speed, stamina and agility.
Urban Polo
Urban Polo is a high intensity invasion game that we have introduced to schools to aid with the KS2 children’s ball striking.
The equipment is slightly oversized to increase the success level for the children which then allows us to introduce other ball striking sports such as Hockey, Tennis and Cricket.
Zorb Football
Zorb Football is an exciting new sport that was first created in Norway and is now taking the UK by storm.
This fun variation on the classic game of football, sees the players encased in an inflatable zorb that covers the upper body and head. Other games such as Zorb Sumo or Zorb bowling can also be played.
