Sportscamp is organised by the Reigate and Redhill YMCA for 8 to 13 year olds who want to improve their sporting abilities and have fun. It's based at the Warwick School in Redhill. Sports Camp has access to their excellent facilities such as a brand new sports hall, fully equipped gymnasium, and outdoor pitches. The Sports Camp will run from 10am to 4pm daily (with optional early bird and after scheme service at the YMCA from 8.45am until 6pm).
The Sports Camp programme is designed to allow children to specialise in one of four sports and these include traditional favourites such as Football, Swimming, Gymnastics and Trampolining, plus, an additional fourth sport including tennis, basketball and cricket. Sportscamp also gives children a good sense of working well in a team, how to co-operate and work together successfully.
Children will be split into groups according to their chosen sport and the mornings will be spent with their coaches, developing sports specific fitness, skills and techniques. The rest of the day will be packed with varied and fun activities including bouncy castles, swimming, trampolining, pirates, team games, competitions, and the chance to try the other sports on offer.
Children will be encouraged to work towards a final presentation where they will also be awarded a commemorative medal and achievement certificate in recognition of the progress they have made.
Each sporting option will be led by qualified and experienced coaches and assistants, who will provide all equipment necessary and each group will be allocated a squad leader to support them throughout the week. Our aim is to encourage maximum sporting development in a fun way and we will be catering for all levels from excellence to complete beginners.
Extended hours are available each day of the Sportscamp. This service will take place at the Reigate and Redhill YMCA, and there will be a shuttle service using the YMCA mini-buses to transport children between the YMCA and the Sportscamp.
Confirmation of your child's place on the Sportscamp, including additional information, and a full timetable of events will be sent to you a few days before the scheme starts.
