Keep your little ones active at Places Leisure

We can’t wait to welcome you to our centres across the district to move your body and engage your mind.

Health should always be a priority. Keeping active as a family deepens bonds, sets a lifelong example, and expends all the pent-up energy that comes with youth!

No two families are the same – that’s why our centres are ideal; there really is something for everyone. But where to start?

We have rounded up our favourite activities to get stuck into this spring…

Make a swimming start.

Take the plunge and get involved in lessons ahead of the sunniest season. Our centres offer teaching for all ages and abilities, so whether you want to start from scratch, overcome a lifelong fear, or simply want your child to brush-up on water safety, we can’t recommend our lessons enough!

If you’re just looking to enjoy a splash, come on down to one of our Family Fun sessions. Watch the pool transform into floats galore with colourful balls, toys and sinking weights to play with in the water, as well as giant inflatable obstacle courses… who will beat the course first without slipping over the edge?! Or take a journey round the winding rapids, or venture down the speedy flume at The Triangle for an actionpacked hour.

Let’s get sporty.

Sports are a great active option when it comes to making progress, team building and using up energy. Our centres offer a wide variety of courses for all children, from football and tennis, to gymnastics and trampolining – and what better time to start?

Extra-curricular activities have been linked to improving time spent in the classroom – offering children a chance to have fun, improve selfesteem and take pride in overcoming physical challenges.

For the little adventurers…

Our Soft Play and Active Play & Bounce sessions are perfect for little ones looking to explore the world through play. It promotes better posture and balance, builds stronger bones, muscles and heart, as well as contributing to brain development. The chance to socialise with children of the same age is particularly important in learning and creating social bonds.

Looking to flex their independence?

Clip ‘n Climb is a fantastic option for the adrenaline junkies, engaging every muscle in the body and giving children the opportunity to do something different. Ignite your inner intellect and combine agility with problem-solving – just like our ancestors!

Teens keen to get fit can visit our Junior Gym sessions from 11 years old. Bring them along to try out the different machines in a comfortable and supervised setting.

Combining fitness with fun.

Add a touch of music, and test your dancing skills alongside family and friends at our Roller Disco – one of our most popular events. Confident you got the moves? Find out more about our private hall hire for special occasions.

We also run a range of holiday clubs and camps to encourage children to engage in an array of different activities; from group games and sports, to arts and crafts.

What are you waiting for? Choose the active option. Find your Place. And remember you can’t put a price on memories.

Plus… WIN a three-month Premium membership for the family that gives access to a variety of activities. Please note that activities and prices may vary depending on the centre and availability.

Keep your eyes peeled for competition details inside this issue of the magazine!
