Virtual Together App

The Virtual Together app has been developed to increase and promote physical activity opportunities both in and out of school.

Have fun and be active together at school and at home with the Virtual Together app!

The Virtual Together app (powered by Playwaze) has been developed for individuals, groups & teams to be able to take part in regular virtual school sport & physical activity challenges, both in school and at home.

The Inspire, School Games and Team Leicestershire communities within the app provide an ongoing virtual offer alongside our annual event calendars.

Please note that the Playwaze website and Playwaze mobile app platforms both adhere to all GDPR and data protection policies and procedures. Details of these can be found on both the website and mobile app (following entering a competition) and can also be found here.

Hero or Heroine – David Beckham was my role model when growing up, I admired his resilience to setbacks and always thought he conducted himself respectfully. As I've got older, I also appreciate what he's done to develop football/sport in general across the world.
