Afterschool sports success!

Everyone at Bankside Open spaces Trust would like to thank all the providers of our Autumn Afterschool Sports Programme at Marlborough Sports Garden. We’ve had a fantastic term onsite staying active and healthy!

Children from local schools enjoyed coached sessions in volleyball from SideOut, netball with Netball England, dance with SuperArts Academy , football with Samba Soccer Schools, and FA Wildcats for girls run by LPESSN, table tennis with Dulwich Table Tennis Club, and cricket with Surrey Cricket Foundation.

Children were introduced to new and unusual sports like skater hockey with School of Skater Hockey, beach tennis with Deuce Beach Tennis and Wallball with UK Wallball – a growing sport played on our new court, the ONLY public Wallball court in the UK!

 A big thanks to all involved – we can’t wait to start our full range of active activities back up again in April. Keep an eye on our social media for details!
