TrySport
TrySport is a community outreach programme funded by Wyre Council and is delivered by Fleetwood Town Community Trust, Fylde Coast YMCA, and Wyre Moving More.
Try Sports is a Council funded project Lead by Fleetwood Town, and the aim is simple. Give opportunity to play sports across all areas of Wyre, ranging from Fleetwood to even the hard-to-reach areas such as Knott End and Garstang.
Creating opportunities for young people to try a new or less common sport such as Boxing; and to increase the overall participation in young children within sports, including the young people who do not like to participate.
We believe that a lack of participation can be caused by several factors, and we strive to eliminate as many as possible. For this reason, Try Sports is on different days, in different areas, with multiple different sports and we are proud to be offering the vast majority for free!
We currently offer various sports and activities including: Football, Netball, Boxing, Dance, Futsal & Basketball. All of the sessions we run will be in the timetable at the bottom of this page!

Jorgi is a 12 year old girl living in Fleetwood who attends Fleetwood High School. In her spare time, she enjoys going out with her friends, shopping and cooking with her mum, Tina. As well as her love for animals, Jorgi also loves boxing. Jorgi first started her boxing journey at 6 years old when she attended her first Tiny Tysons session. After attending a session a week for two years, she then progressed onto the beginners classes which are for ages 10-16. As soon as she turned 11, Jorgi got her medical at England Boxing and since then, she has had two skill bouts and is preparing for her third.
Sean McGann, Jorgi’s boxing coach, had this to say on her character growth; “She was underconfident and quite shy but now her confidence is sky high and she is always wanting to improve. When she first came in, she hated sparring and now she can’t wait to spar and isn’t afraid to go against some of the boys! On top of the Tysons sessions, she now turns up to a private session every week on top of 2/3 extra classes herself and to summarise she is doing really well!”
