Socioeconomic status can significantly influence leisure participation. This is because an individual from lower socioeconomic status faces significant financial barriers while accessing leisure (Scott, 2013). It is evident from recent literature that low neighborhood socioeconomic status is a powerful predictor of poor long-term physical activity uptake in Myocardial infarction survivors (Gerber et al., 2011). Hence, leisure practioners must focus on developing programs for individuals with myocardial infarction living in a neighborhood with low socioeconomic status.

I am proposing a 3 day handball camp which will be put in place to assist the growth of handball at junior level within Nottinghamshire. The sport is growing and is deemed to be one of the best legacies of London 2012 (BHA, 2011). However, there is still a large gap in the market for new and enhanced programmes at junior level to assist the sport in becoming more popular (Gary Cruz, 2006). Since becoming an Olympic sport in 1972, handball has been dominated by European countries, mainly due to the restricted structures in position (Roberts et al, 2012). The 2 years following the Olympics is said to be a once in a lifetime opportunity for the sport to grow and foster in England (Thomason, J. 2012). In 2009 the national training centre
