Easter activities 2012

During Easter Sport and Active Lifestyles in association with accredited partners are providing school holiday clubs and sports camps throughout the District.

Holiday clubs feature varied sports programmes including fun games and fun swim (normal regulations apply).

The sports camps are led by fully qualified coaching staff and are designed to introduce and improve fundamental skills associated with the respective sports.

The holiday programme and camps have identified community sport pathways, which mean children and young people can continue playing sports on a weekly basis. There is something for everyone aged from 5+.

Participants can just turn up, pay and play or to ensure a place please contact the respective centre. Please note that some activities have limited places.
