Active Fife
Taking part in sport and physical activity helps our physical and mental wellbeing and we offer a range of opportunities for children and young people to take part in universal and targeted provision. We also offer opportunities for pupils to participate, progress and achieve in sport through our school festivals and competition structures.
Active Schools
Fife’s Active Schools teamwork with primary, secondary and additional support needs schools to:
- Increase the quality and range of opportunities to participate in sport before school, during lunchtime and after school.
- Recruit and develop a network of volunteers & coaches to deliver sport and build capacity.
- Increase the number of young people accessing leadership roles encouraging and supporting them to reach their potential.
- Support and develop pathways to improve the transition for participants from schools to clubs and community provision
Kennoway Primary School, Community Use
Kennoway Primary School Community Use responds imaginatively to the needs and ideas of the community. We serve to provide social, recreational and educational opportunities for individuals, families and for groups in the community.
We offer a balanced and attractive programme, for people of all ages, which is always under review. We always try to accommodate any request for new classes or activities. The centre is available to individuals, groups and organisations.
Levenmouth Academy Community Use
Levenmouth Academy Community Use offers a wide range of vocational and non - vocational learning opportunities including sports, leisure and adult education classes. We also offer space for birthday parties and school holiday camps! The Community Use School is open weekday evenings and Sundays and provides the facilities for hire.
Levenmouth Swimming Pool and Sports Centre
Levenmouth Swimming Pool attracts many thousands of visitors each year. The leisure pool offers fun for all the family with its multi-patterned wave machine, giant aqua slide flume, exploding water cannons and geysers. Other facilities include a multi-purpose games hall, fitness studio, gym, sauna, steam room, and spa bath. The centre is located on the promenade at the seafront in Leven.
There is ample free car parking, and the bus station is directly opposite the centre.
Community Sports Hubs
They bring together sports clubs and key local partners who want to develop and grow the sporting offering in the community.
They focus on sustainable, community-led approaches that get clubs working together to develop a welcoming, safe and fun environment for sports.
Community sport hubs are National Lottery funded and are one of SportScotland’s key programmes which contribute to Legacy and supports local sports clubs to play their part in a world-class sporting system.
Here are some of the ways we make difference to people in the local community of Levenmouth ...
Rhiannon Grant
Active Schools Young Ambassador
Leading Levenmouth Academy extra-curricular netball session for S1-S3 pupils.
Being in this venue allows the whole cluster and locality to be brought together. Delivering activities to a wide range of young people from different areas within the locality enables young people to develop physical, social, and emotional wellbeing as well as the leadership skills to set them up for reaching positive destinations.

Based in an area of regeneration, we understand the importance of providing gymnastics and other physical activity-based opportunities to support the physical, mental and social health of those who live or work within the area. Offering opportunities for the local community to participate in our activities (either as a participant or volunteer) helps us improve the lives and wellbeing of our local community.
Leven Centre
Wellness programme - Global Caravan Dance
Oh, how we chuckled together. The minute we put our coin belts on there was no stopping the FUN. We laughed and wiggled and wiggled and laughed. The ladies did such an amazing job following the moves and isolating their bodies not taking themselves too seriously.
I loved being involved in something that brings so much joy and happiness.

I'm currently 17 weeks pregnant. I want to retain my fitness during pregnancy and be a great example to my little boy. Once this little one is born (due in July) I look forward to getting back to fitness in a safe welcoming environment.
Having access to a variety of classes and pool facilities will help me maintain good mental health as well as improve my physical fitness, while also being a good role model for my children.

My wee mum is 72! She had been terrified to go out during the lockdowns, so we did their shopping etc! My dad (80) kept quite active as they have 3 dogs, but mum was terrified even to touch the door handles! She was convinced she had a heart condition but went for tests and nothing was wrong at all - Which is good! The doctors came to the conclusion she was a little overweight and unfit.
I suggested we went to a Senior Flex class at Michael Woods Sports & Leisure Centre; then we added another class at Leven pool! And she comes to my Yoga on a Thursday at Levenmouth Swimming Pool & Sports Centre and is now going to chair pilates too!
Two months later, she's taken out a membership and feels great! She's smiling and no longer thinking she's going to die any day soon!
