Local children can hone their skills in cricket, football, hockey and tennis at the University of Kent this Easter.
The University of Kent Sport is running an Easter Sports Academy for children aged 7-14 to gain professional coaching in the four sports. It consists of three days of coaching in a chosen sport, and a trip to a stadium. The Academy runs from 9am – 3pm daily from 14 – 17 April at a cost of £80. Later pick-ups (until 5.30pm) are available for an extra £10 per day.
Trainers include former Kent and Somerset cricketer, Ben Trott, Gillingham Academy coach, and double Olympian hockey player, Mel Clewlow.
Mel Clewlow, the University’s Sports Development Manager, comments: ‘The classes are a great opportunity for children to gain some skills in their favourite sport as well as keep fit during the Easter holidays.’
