CIMSPA's goals are to establish a new set of professional standards for the sport and physical activity sector, develop an endorsement programme for awarding organisations and training providers, and have the workforce be actively engaged in CIMSPA-accredited continuing professional development.[3]

CIMSPA was formed in 2012 when the IMSPA was awarded a royal charter.[4] Their predecessors are the Institute of Sport and Recreation Management (ISRM), Institute for Leisure and Amenity Management (ILAM) and later Institute for Sport, Parks, and Leisure (ISPAL).[5]

S&PA Professional is the official publication of CIMSPA. The quarterly magazine offers a mix of topical content, including in-depth features, debate on crucial industry issues, training, education and research updates in addition to relevant industry news.[6]

Activities edit

Register of Exercise Professionals (REPs) edit

On 27 February 2020 Sport England CEO, Tim Hollingsworth, announced at the CIMSPA and Quest NBS Conference that CIMSPA and UK Coaching signed a deal to combine the Register of Exercise Professionals (REPs) with the CIMSPA Exercise and Fitness Directory to create a single directory for all exercise and fitness professionals.[13] This is the first time that the entire workforce within sport and physical activity have had a single professional body to represent them.

COVID-19 pandemic edit

During the COVID-19 pandemic, CIMSPA launched a digital hub to support the sport and physical activity sector. The hub, located on the CIMSPA website, brought together information, advice and practical support for all those working in sport and physical activity who were impacted by the crisis and is freely available to anyone working in the sector.[14] Later in the pandemic, CIMSPA launched ReTrain to Retain which offered support for ~50,000 sport and physical activity professionals and volunteers who’ve had to find work outside the sector or had their hours reduced.[15]

Digital Marketing Hub edit

At the end of September 2021, CIMSPA partnered with tech giant Google and British fitness coach, TV presenter, social media personality and author Joe Wicks to launch the Digital Marketing Hub for sport and physical activity. Supported with National Lottery (United Kingdom) and Sport England funding, and powered by content from the Digital Marketing Institute, The CIMSPA Digital Marketing Hub was made to help people and organisations improve how they apply digital marketing tools and techniques, to encourage more people to play sport and be active.[16]
