A PACKED programme of summer sports courses is on offer in Rugby during the school holidays.
The Summer Sport 2025 programme gives youngsters the chance to try a new sport or develop skills under the guidance of a qualified coach.
It includes a two-day sailing course hosted by Draycote Water Sailing Club starting next Thursday (July 31), where youngsters can complete stage one of the RYA Youth Sailing Certificate, while a one-day indoor bowling course takes place at Thornfield Indoor Bowls Club on Monday August 4.
Harris Academy Sports Centre hosts a two-day trampolining course starting on Monday August 11, while Hill Street Youth and Community Centre holds a two-day table tennis course starting on Wednesday August 13.
A Lawn Tennis Association (LTA) coach holds court at Caldecott Park from Monday August 18 at the start of a two-day training camp, and Rugby College hosts a two-day fencing course starting on Wednesday August 20.
Summer Sport 2025 also includes a brace of two-day horse-riding courses at Grandborough’s Woodbine Stables – the first starting on Thursday August 7, and the second on Thursday August 24 – and a three-day golf course tees off at Leam Valley Golf Centre on Tuesday August 27 under the guidance of a PGA professional coach.
Coun Maggie O’Rourke, Rugby Borough Council’s spokesperson for partnerships and wellbeing, said: “Our Summer Sport programme offers youngsters the chance to get active during the school summer holidays and learn new skills with the help of qualified sports coaches.
“The courses always prove popular and with limited places available on each one, it’s best to book early to avoid missing out.”
