Empowering Communities Through Sport
At Aberdeen Sports Village (ASV), we are dedicated to fostering a healthier and more connected community. Through a range of innovative and inclusive programs, we aim to deliver exceptional sports and fitness opportunities for individuals of all ages and abilities. Discover how we’re making a difference in the lives of local children, families, and adults through the power of sport.
Home of Community Sport
We proudly partner with North East Scotland College to bring free sports sessions to eight local primary schools. By providing access to quality physical activities, we’re inspiring the next generation to embrace an active lifestyle and build lifelong skills. We are also partners with NESCOL to provide extensive coaching experience to 80 students, helping them shape their career in the sports & leisure industry.
ASV Energisers: Sport and Food for Local Children
Our ASV Energisers program delivers an enriching after-school experience for disadvantage kids for free. We understand that not all children have equal access to sports programs, and we're committed to changing that by providing free sports coaching, facilities, and equipment. Beyond sports, we're proud to support children and families in need with free hot meals, warmth, showering facilities, and Wi-Fi access—especially as the cost-of-living crisis continues to affect so many. Coaching and club pathways are delivered in collaboration with North East Scotland College, Aberdeen Amateur Athletics Club, and We Make Footballers. We are immensely proud and grateful for the ongoing support of Serica Energy and CNOOC International. Their sponsorship enables us to continue providing these opportunities to many, breaking down barriers to sports participation and ENERGISING our local community.
ASV Matchday Experience
As part of our continued commitment to making sport and football more accessible for everyone in our community, we’re excited to introduce the ASV Matchday Experience.
In partnership with Aberdeen Football Club, this unique initiative invites charities, families, children, and community members who may not otherwise have the opportunity to experience the world-class facilities at ASV and the unforgettable atmosphere of a matchday at Pittodrie Stadium, at no cost at all.
Participants can choose from a wide range of activities at ASV in our facilities, including Indoor Pitch, Indoor/Outdoor Athletics Track, Sports Hall, Olympic Swimming Pools, Gym*, Sauna* & Steam Room*.
*Access to the Gym, Sauna, & Steam Room is limited to over 16s only. All activities are subject to availability.
Following their activities at ASV, guests will head to Pittodrie Stadium to cheer on Aberdeen FC and be part of the electric matchday atmosphere.
This experience is open to individuals and groups from across the community. If you know someone who would benefit from this opportunity, or you’re part of an organisation interested in taking part, we’d love to hear from you.
