We know that from 5 years upwards it’s really important to keep kids active and enjoying sport. They will have started school and are spending more time sitting and learning with perhaps just a weekly PE session. With this in mind, we’ve put together a programme of courses and classes with something to interest every child, whether they are the next Wimbledon champion, enjoy walking on the balance beam or want to get to grips with racket sports!
Check out our timetable to find the perfect activity for your little one and register your interest today.
Squash
Squash is a fantastic sport to get kids playing sport and working out as it’s incredibly active. Our coaches work with children at all levels of ability, whether they are just starting on the squash court, have played a little or are more advanced players. These squash sessions build the children’s confidence and develop their skills, whilst playing in a fun and friendly environment. View our timetable and secure your child’s place.
