FREE SPORTS FOR ALL AGES!

FREE sports will be on offer throughout the day on Sunday 10th July at lakes leisure Ulverston. The leisure centre is offering a wide range of activities free of charge on its annual Try Sports Day; this year the event is in partnership with St Mary’s Hospice who will be providing some great new activities and events to make Try Sports 2011 the best yet!

The idea behind Try Sports day is to encourage members of the local community to try a variety of different sports on the same day, learn a few skills and maybe even consider joining a local club or regular session. It is a really good chance to bring friends and family and have a go at some great sports together – free of charge!

Free sports available on the day include tennis, hockey, football, cricket, rugby, aikido, cardio tennis, ruggercise and even wrestling! There will also be a climbing wall and on site catering so bring a few pounds just in case (any money taken from the catering will go towards St Mary’s Hospice). Local clubs based at lakes leisure Ulverston will also be on hand to run sessions and offer advice and tips about joining up – whatever your age or ability!

Chris Brookshaw, Assistant Operations Manager at Ulverston and Try Sports organiser is looking forward to the event this year:

“We are hoping that Try Sports 2011 will be the best yet and we are really pleased to be working in partnership with St Mary’s Hospice, a fantastic local charity. There’s going to be loads of free sports on offer, the chance to meet our local clubs and a 1k and 5k fun run so come down and join in!”

New to the event this year is the 1k and 5k St Mary’s Hospice fun run. Why not come along and have a race against your friends or relatives or just join in for fun! The runs are open to all ages and abilities and cost £5 for adults, £3 for children or £10 for a family of four. You don’t need to raise any sponsorship to enter; all proceeds will go to the hospice.

There is a full programme of activities running during the day starting from 10.00am right through until 5.00pm, no need to book in advance just grab your trainers and head down to lakes leisure Ulverston…
