  • Safety and supervision

    The safety of the children is of paramount importance. All coaches have professional coaching qualifications. Coaching will be in groups small enough to ensure individual attention but large enough to enable the children to practise unit skills.

    All other physical activities are supervised by appropriately qualified staff. When not being coached, the children will be in the care of experienced staff who will look after all aspects of welfare and enjoyment and provide a sympathetic ear when required.

  • Meals and refreshments

    All meals are provided in the dining hall, offering a diverse selection of healthy, hot and cold options, including a salad bar. Snacks and drinks are available for purchase at our café. There will be refreshment breaks between coaching sessions, but all children should bring a water bottle with them.

  • Activities

    Alongside high-level coaching, children can enjoy a variety of engaging activities, providing a chance to explore diverse pursuits and enjoy a well-rounded experience.

    From kayaking on the river to scaling our impressive purpose-built climbing tower, children can choose from a number of activities that offer a refreshing break from their main sport interest, ensuring an enriching and memorable holiday programme.

  • Dress code and equipment

    Before the course begins, we’ll provide a comprehensive kit list for each sport. Participants must wear suitable clothing for each sport, and they are required to bring their cricket bat, tennis racquet, or hockey stick, as applicable.
