The fun filled line-up, developed by Council’s Sport Development and Physical Recreation Team, will begin on Monday 3rd July and run until Friday 11th August.
This year’s programme will have something for everyone, offering a fantastic selection of 62 courses covering 27 different activities.
The Mayor of Causeway Coast and Glens Borough Council, Alderman Maura Hickey said: “The packed programme has so much to offer this year, with activities including cricket
, rowing, badminton and paddle boarding. I would like to encourage all young people to get involved. They can learn new skills, meet new friends and have fun all at the same time.”
Sports Development Manager (Central), Stephen McCartney, who leads the Programme, said: “Council’s Sports Development Team is committed to offering a wide a range of quality activities for young people and we believe this year’s programme will exceed expectations. The Table Tennis Camp and Soccer Starz Indoor Camp are new additions to the programme and will appeal to a much wider audience, with traditional favourites such as tennis, hockey and golf also available. Each course is designed to increase the participant’s skill level but more importantly, the emphasis is on having lots of fun.”
“There is also a special incentive for young budding footballers this year. Participants on all soccer school courses will receive a free football to help practice their skills.”
Due to popular demand, the swimming courses follow the same format as last year with levels 1–10 in the main pool and minnows’ levels 1-4 in the minor pool. They are also in keeping with the centre’s lessons, offering value for money and continuity.
The full price for individuals to participate per course is £30 each. There is a special discount ticket available priced at £24 per person per course, for those who have a current Access to Leisure Card. This discount is also available for anyone enrolling for a minimum of three courses per household (activities must be booked at the same time).
Enrolment will begin on Saturday 3rd June at 8.15am at Coleraine Leisure Centre.
All interested parties will only be permitted to enrol one family on the initial day of enrolment.
