Juniors 10 to 15 years
We offer a range of activities targeted towards juniors between 10-15 years old
It’s important to encourage children if they want to get or stay healthy; the NHS state children need to do at least 60 minutes of physical activity every day to maintain a basic level of health, and on three days a week these activities need to develop strong muscles and bones, including sports like gymnastics. Their website states ‘being active for at least 60 minutes a day is linked to better general health, stronger bones and muscles, and higher levels of self-esteem.
At Bluecoat Sports, we offer a range of junior activities for a selection of age groups to ensure they stay fit and healthy. We also offer a Junior membership that provides a variety of benefits to young people. Read about our different classes on offer below and find out more about our Junior memberships on our membership page.
