Winter-Proof Clubs & Classes

Winter-Proof Clubs & Classes

With the nights closing in and the temperature dropping, the idea of sending your child out on to the football pitch, tennis court or athletics track may not be an appealing one. But active after school activities offer children great developmental benefits.

So here are our ideas for keeping your restless youngsters on the go – and the good news is you don’t have to force them (or you!) outside:

Trampoline Clubs and Parks

These are popping up all over the country and classes are fun and social. The UK now has over 190 trampoline parks and most offer kids a safe environment to cut loose as well lessons and classes for children from as young as toddlers upwards.

Girl Guides and Scouting

Scouting and Girl Guides are experiencing an unprecedented surge in popularity. Why? Because they offer an antidote to the modern world with adventure being at the heart of everything they do. From as young as 6, children can get involved in learning outdoor skills and undertaking leadership qualifications, as well as enjoying camps and residential experiences. However, waiting lists can be long so act quickly!

Ice Rinks/Snow Slopes

Local snow slopes and ice rinks are great places to get kids active during the winter and offer kids the opportunity to try tobogganing, skiing or snowboarding, or get a pair of skates on. There are indoor and outdoor rinks and centres, depending on how you feel about braving the cold or damp weather.
