"Being an activator has significantly enhanced my enjoyment of the sport I love. It allows me to share my passion with others, satisfyingly teach new skills, and have a lot of fun together. Additionally, the incentives and soft skills I gain make this role a remarkable choice."
- Daniel Akula, Activator for Rock Up & Play Squash
“Being an activator for almost 8 years now, since I began my journey at Warwick in 2016 has been wonderful experience. This involves meeting enthusiastic, sports loving participants from diverse cultures and backgrounds. Being an activator allows me to make friends, assist new participants in getting into badminton and improve my own badminton skills.”
