Breckland Sportivate Winter/Spring 2012:
14-25? Want to get active and win £30? Sign Up to one of our Sportivate courses and you could do just that!
Get Active with Friends and win a £30 Amazon voucher!
Breckland Council is pleased to be able to offer its second spell of Sportivate courses for the February to April period 2012. With funding secured from the Sport England legacy fund, the council is working again in partnership with Parkwood Leisure and local schools to offer sports activities with an added bonus. This term we are offering Archery, Hula-Hooping, Badminton, Swimming, Spinning and Dodgeball so with all this choice there should be something for everyone. What’s more there is an added bonus - written into every bid for each one of these above courses was a £30 incentive to encourage younger members of our district into trying something new. Basically, EVERY participant on EACH course who attends 5 out of the 6 hours that the course runs for, gets entered into a prize draw to win a £30 Amazon voucher… meaning that at a pound a session, you could end up making a £25 profit all for just taking part in sport and having fun!
Pictured right are some 6th form students from Attleborough High School who recently took part in a 6 week Hula Hooping course, the lucky winner of the voucher Rachel Hughes said “Sportivate is brilliant, I have never been particularly sporty, but Hula Hooping is something that just sounded like it might be fun. I went to the first session and never looked back! To think that I have found myself a completely new activity, made new friends AND won myself a £30 voucher seems all a little bizarre – but in a very good way. Everyone 14-25 should give Sportivate a go… what have you got to lose?”
All Sportivate courses are run informally and offer a chance for you to get a few friends together and try something you might not usually do. And you don’t necessarily need to be sporty - our Spinning and Hula-Hooping courses offer you the chance to get a little exercise whilst dancing to music, whilst our Dodgeball course offers you the chance to really let of steam with friends in a fun and safe environment. Archery will test your sense of direction, whilst swimming is both therapeutic and aerobic.
What's more, for every course you take part in, you could win a £30 Amazon voucher just in time for an Easter holiday shopping spree. Every participant who attends a minimum of 5 out of 6 hours offered on each course will be entered into a draw to win the voucher... so the more courses you take part in, the more vouchers you could win!
