The sessions have been organised by Bury Sport and Physical Activity Service and Bury Leisure, and take place every Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday for five weeks from 9am to 5pm.

Councillor Trevor Holt, cabinet member for health and wellbeing, said: “This is a fantastic course for young people, giving them a chance to experience a huge variety of sports and improve their skills. We all know how important it is for young people to be active from an early age, and if they can do that while having fun, making new friends and learning new skills, then that’s perfect.”
