Grassroots youth sports teams in Scotland, England and Wales can apply for support through the Gear Up for Sport programme, funded by UK motor retailer Arnold Clark.
The programme offers free training equipment including training balls, ball bags, space markers, water bottles, mesh bibs, and other items to help reduce costs for community clubs.
A wide range of sports is covered, including football, rugby, netball, basketball, cricket, swimming, gymnastics and athletics, etc.
The training equipment for each club will differ depending on the sport.
The programme is open to one team per club, with eligible teams having up to 30 members aged 4 to 15. Applications must be submitted by a member of the coaching or management team, such as a coach, treasurer or secretary, rather than by a parent.
Successful applicants will have six weeks to order the training equipment, which can take up to eight weeks to arrive.
Applications close on 31 July 2026.
