Wednesday, March 5 2008
There will be no excuse for youngsters in the Borders being bored during the Easter break this year with another jam-packed Sports and Physical Activity Programme from Scottish Borders Council’s Sports Development and Active Schools Teams.
The new look programme is out now and includes a balanced and cost effective range of sports and activities. A new information hotline has also been set up for any queries associated with any of the holiday sports programmes.
Councillor Graham Garvie, Executive Member for Sport, Culture and Community Learning, said: “Being active and having fun is the perfect way for youngsters to spend their Easter break and once again this year’s programme includes a wide range of activities and sports for youngsters to choose from. All staff running the courses are qualified and selected for their experience and enthusiasm when interacting with young people so there is no doubt that the youngsters involved will be guaranteed a good time.”
The Easter Holiday Programme runs from 31 March – 11 April 2008.
Sports on offer include cricket, badminton, athletics, hockey, football, ‘kidz club’, dance, surfing, mountain biking, tennis, disability sports and activity club. Course costs vary and a discount scheme is available to assist families with more than one child.
