Shoot, Splash & Sprint Into Summer

June 2, 2017

With a fantastic choice of fun sports courses and summer activity schemes, the programmes outlined in the guide promise to keep children busy over the school holidays.  Activities include swimming, tennis, gymnastics and soccer to name just a few of the exciting activities taking place in the local area.

Children aged 5+ years, can enrol on the Council’s summer scheme programme with a fun blend of coached activities, games, arts and crafts, dance, outings, bouncy castle and much more.  There are also sports specific schemes and courses such as golf, ice skating, water skiing and baseball for those wishing to try a new sport.

Launching the programme, Chairman of the Council’s Leisure & Community Development Committee, Councillor Tim Morrow said, “The Council aims to support and promote health and wellbeing opportunities across Lisburn & Castlereagh so we are delighted to offer a wide selection of sports courses, summer schemes and camps at our facilities throughout the school holidays. 

“I hope the choice of activities will inspire children to get active and try a new sport, which will hopefully see many take their first steps to a lifetime of physical activity or even encourage those who excel in a specific sport to progress onto a competitive level.”

The enrolment date for the Summer in the City Scheme, Teen Scheme and Summer Swim Camp commences from Monday 5th June.  Enrolment can be completed on-line or by visiting the relevant centre.  To download a copy of the Summer in the City guide, please click here.
