About us
Let's Get Active (LGA) is an organisation that is deeply committed to fostering local communities through a variety of sporting opportunities. Launched in 2017, our core mission is to provide top-notch services and exceptional sporting experiences to individuals of all backgrounds.
With an array of sports programs spread throughout London, we work with athletes at all levels of ability, including those who compete at the highest international levels across the globe.
We're passionately dedicated to creating accessible and inclusive programs that are open to people of all ages, abilities, and backgrounds. Our ultimate goal is to cultivate a community of athletes who are deeply passionate about their respective sports and who are striving to reach their full potential.
We're constantly seeking to improve our offerings and provide the most robust support and opportunities to our athletes, coaches, and volunteers.
The numbers
Refine the Skills and Knowledge
We seek to place highly-qualified individuals, such as coaches, athletes, and administrators, who also serve as role-models in the lives of the people it works with.
Knowledge is Power
We understand the importance of education, in all forms, in helping individuals reach their full potential. We believe that education is a key tool in empowering people to make informed choices and to achieve their goals, both in sport and in life.
A better future
One of our key goals is to leave everyone it works with in a better position than when they first arrived. We put a great deal of thought and care into everything LGA does to achieve this.
Our platform is more than just a service; it's a thriving community. In 2023, we have made a significant impact on societies and changed lives through our work, creating opportunities at every level.
We’re a dynamic group of individuals who are passionate about what we do.

“It was a pleasure to work with LGA. Their approach, professionalism and punctuality was top notch, and all the participants and client were extremely happy with what was delivered. I'd highly recommend working with him and look forward to working with him again in future.”
Sam Neter
Owner of Hoopsfix
“Louis and the LGA team are always leading by example and not just with words. A large part of how I navigate life and the corporate world as a man is a result of what I’ve learned through being involved in various LGA programs. One thing that has stuck with me is the importance of always being disciplined and holding yourself accountable at all times.”
Tyreece Ruddock
Operational Analyst at JP Morgan
“Louis and the team were integral in preparing me for my rookie season. They're teaching styles are unlike anything I've experienced and the consistent check-ins thought out the season let me know they're an organisation that genuinely care about the people they work with”
Jonathan Komagum
London Lions Athlete
“My son is absolutely loving his time with LGA. The coaches are passionate, brilliant communicators and focus as much on personal and social development as they do on the game. He's growing in confidence both on the court and off it.”
“LGA has given me access to some great mentors in my life. Both on and off the basketball court their staff are some of the few people I listen to.”
Gedi Juozapaitis
Graduate & Professional Athlete
“I have been a part of Let's Get Active (LGA) for the past 5 years and it has been an incredible journey. LGA has provided me with a supportive community and access to a variety of sports and fitness programs that I never thought I would be able to try. Their friendly and knowledgeable staff have been instrumental in helping me build my confidence and achieve my fitness goals. I am grateful to be a part of LGA and would highly recommend them to anyone looking to get involved in sports and fitness.”
Milene Gama Vaz
Nurse & Podcast Host
“I cannot recommend these guys enough. I had been super busy with work and life that I hadn’t played basketball in months. Working out with LGA not only has gotten me back into shape but more importantly it has made me fall back in love with the game. Louis, who runs it, is a great man. Gives his absolute all to his clients and pushes them constantly, always bringing inspiring energy. Thank you LGA - I owe you a lot.”
Behrad Bakhtiari
Co-Founder of SBB
“The basketball academy has been a tremendous help for my son in more ways than I could have imagined. Not only has it improved his skills on the court, but it has also given him the confidence to perform better in other areas of life. The discipline he has learned from the coaches and the structure of the program has translated to better focus in school and a positive attitude towards challenges. I'm grateful for the positive impact this academy has had on my son and highly recommend it to any parent looking to give their child a boost in confidence and discipline.”
Parent #1
LGA Basketball Academy
“Our eldest son has been going for 2 years and our youngest (5 years old) started this season. The quality of training is impeccable. It is not only the basketball skills but they also learn about team work, behaviour, attitude and sportsmanship. The coaches are exemplary, great with the children (and parents!) We also get invited to other events, keeping it fresh and exciting. We love our 2 hours a week with LGA and look forward to many more years to come, the boys absolutely love it.”
“I get unique advice on what I need to work on to constantly develop and grow (on & off the court) whilst getting to compete against some of the countries best on a regular basis...”
“LGA has played such a pivotal role in helping me shape my career as a coach. From the early guidance to now, they're always ready to provide a helping hand and never shy away from supporting me through some of the difficult decisions/scenarios I face as a young professional”
“As a parent, I have seen a remarkable improvement in my daughter's physical fitness, confidence, and academic performance since she joined the children's basketball academy. The coaching staff not only focuses on improving their basketball skills, but also emphasises the importance of teamwork, leadership, and a positive attitude. My daughter has learned valuable life skills through the mentoring provided by the coaches, which has translated into her success both on and off the court. I am grateful for the positive impact the academy has had on my daughter and highly recommend it to any parent looking to improve their child's overall well-being.”
