Boxercise
Boxercise is an exercise class including elements of boxing. As it does not involve physically hitting an opponent, it is a fun, challenging and safe workout. Through the session, the group learn fitness skills, skipping drills to improve foot work as well as boxing drills using pads and gloves.
Cricket
We are very lucky to have the services of Chris Ellison and his team to coach our cricket club.
The children take part in skill based games to develop their hand eye co-ordination, bowling and batting skills as well as developing their knowledge of playing the game.
