RIA Member – Derbyshire Institute of Sport (DIS)
Derbyshire Institute of Sport (DIS) exists to make exceptional sports science accessible to all. As a Community Interest Company (CIC), we are driven by a simple belief: every young person deserves the opportunity to reach their full potential, regardless of background or financial circumstance.
Our mission is to inspire, educate, and develop young people, helping them become the best version of themselves while building a lifelong connection with sport, health, and wellbeing.
We provide a comprehensive range of services, including strength and conditioning, physiotherapy, sports nutrition, performance psychology, lifestyle mentoring, and access to specialist sports doctor support. Through ongoing fundraising, we work to keep our services affordable, ensuring that cost is never a barrier to opportunity.
The impact of our work goes far beyond sport and can be seen across every aspect of human health. Physically, we help build strong, resilient bodies fit for life. Psychologically, we enhance mental clarity and resilience. Emotionally, we support the development of a positive sense of self. Socially, we foster meaningful, supportive relationships that extend well beyond the sporting environment.
Our core values are reflected in everything we do, from the people we employ to the way we support every athlete. They are not just words—they are part of our DNA.
CARE – Human first, athlete second
PASSION – A relentless desire for excellence
INTEGRITY – Quality over quantity
At DIS, we are not just developing athletes – we are shaping healthier, happier, and more resilient individuals for life.
