Welcome to Sport in Desford
SiD’s aim is to provide reasonably priced sporting and recreational facilities for the people of Desford and surrounding areas.
SiD is a Registered Charity (No. 1100319) and is run by an Executive Management Committee, which consists of a management team and representatives from all the affiliated sports sections – Bowls, Football, Fitness Gym, Squash, Striders Running, Scouting, Netball, Tennis and Dance. The Committee members are volunteers. This Committee is answerable to a Board of 6 Trustees, all of whom also work on a voluntary basis.
The Gym
As a part of the scout development the gym was extended by 40% to accommodate more new equipment and to provide a better service for our members.
Bowls
The club was formed just over 20 years ago and although young in bowling terms it is well established in local bowling circles.
Desford Striders
Founded in 1991 in Leicestershire, Desford Striders is a small, friendly, running club that welcomes runners of any ability.
Scouts
Scouting in Desford is thriving. Over the past six years, the number of children (and adult volunteers) involved in scouting in our community has grown massively.
Football
This is SiD’s main pitch located on the main site at Peckleton Lane. The resident club at Peckleton Lane is Desford Football Club with 4 teams playing on this pitch.
Tennis
