Breakfast Clubs                                    

An extensive review of relevant research has demonstrated that the more physically active schoolchildren are, the better they do academically. Children being active before school results in them being more focused in class with more concentration than usual, because of the increased blood and oxygen to the brain.

Lunch Clubs

Lunch breaks are ideal opportunities for children to engage in physical activity, encouraging a balance of physical and mental challenges throughout the school day.

Change for Life Club 

Change4Life Sport Clubs take the principles and specific skills from a range of Olympic and Paralympic sports and place them in a fun, vibrant and exciting activity club giving young people the confidence and competence to take part in lifelong physical activity.

Quicksticks Hockey

Quicksticks is designed to introduce young people to the game of hockey. It is 4-a-side, can be played on any surface, and uses a larger, lighter and safer ball. It is a fun, fast, safe and exciting game that has been designed so that anyone can play the game.
