The Courses Aims
- To provide high quality progressive coaching in a number of sports
- To provide children with a fun and safe environment to learn sport
- To give opportunity for local children to experience the quality and range of the University’s facilities
- To introduce children to sports they may not have played before and to enable them to improve in sports they already enjoy.
Sports
Each coaching course runs for the full five days of the week, with fully qualified coaches to give the children of ages 8 - 14 years the best opportunity to develop their skills in a progressive manner.
We offer as many sports as possible to provide the children with a range of skills to try and enjoy.

All sports sessions will be taken by fully qualified and experienced coaches. All our coaches and supervisors have completed an enhanced CRB disclosure to ensure they are suitable to work with children.
