TWO OUTCOMES. ONE CONNECTED APPROACH.

Grow participation and unlock sustainable funding

ActiveXchange empowers sports to grow membership and participation while unlocking sustainable revenue that can be reinvested into clubs and programs.

Participation & membership growth

Understand who is playing, where demand is growing, and where opportunities are being missed. Use participation and community insights to support clubs, strengthen programs and attract more people into your sport.

Sustainable revenue beyond fees

Use audience and participation insights to attract better-aligned sponsors and partners, reducing reliance on fees and creating funding that can be reinvested into clubs, programs and affordability.

Our solutions bring these outcomes together through one connected approach to sport data.

Investment Planning Reports

Evidence where investment is needed to help your sport grow

Investment Planning Reports help sports understand where demand exists for their sport or programs, and where investment will have the greatest impact on participation growth and access.

Using demand modelling and spatial analysis, the reports estimate how many people are likely to participate, where unmet demand exists and how demand varies across communities.

This enables sports to build evidence-based cases to government and funding partners, guiding investment into participation pathways and programs, and supporting infrastructure that strengthen long-term participation and community outcomes.

Social Value

Quantify the community benefits of sport and physical activity

Convert sport participation and physical activity data into social return metrics. Show the health, inclusion and economic benefits of your sporting programs against a number of chronic & acute health indicators.

Movement Data

Know where and when your sport is being played across communities

Movement Data helps sports understand real-world activity across informal and unstructured spaces where participation data is often missing. See how people move through, to and within community spaces to understand where your sport is being played, how often and at what times.

Basketball England uses Movement Data to passively monitor activity across basketball courts, laying the foundations for impact assessments and court improvements. Read more.

Questions sports should be asking
