Holiday sports camps

Multisport camps offer children in pre-school (from age 3) – P7 the opportunity to play a wide variety of sports, games and activities throughout the week. Children will learn new skills, make new friends, and most importantly they will have lots and lots of fun!

In order to ensure each child has the best possible experience, we group children based on age and ability with fun at the heart of everything we do.

Coaching

Our multisports camps are led by Children’s Services Coordinator Lui Watters, who has completed a BSc (Honours) in Sports Development and Coaching, and holds a number of governing body coaching qualifications.

Lui is supported by our Sports Coach Matthew Porteus and a team of experienced and qualified coaches who provide a safe and friendly environment for all children.

Our new football camp offers children the opportunity of playing and learning the game whilst at the same time enhancing their skills in a number of different areas.

Over the course of the camp players will enhance their passing, dribbling, control and finishing skills whilst also taking part in lots of small sided games. Participants will make new friends and most importantly of all, will have lots of fun.
