Summer Activities for 8 to 12 year olds
Calling all Parents!

Following the success of the Easter sports scheme 'On your doorstep' in Metheringham village Hall, North Kesteven district Council is planning a 5-day event on Metheringham Playing Fields during the school Summer holiday.

The Council will provide organisational support, advertising and equipment, but will need the help of local adult volunteers.

On each day the planned activities will take place from 10am to 3pm.  mornings will probably be devoted to team games such as rounders, baseball and dodge ball.  In the afternoons there will be the opportunity for soccer skills coaching, American football, athletics and cycling.

If there is sufficient local support and enthusiasm, the District Council would like to see this established as an annual event.  But it does depend on the support of parents and others.

All to often we hear the cry of 'I wish there were more for them to do during the summer holiday'.  Now there is an opportunity to do something about it.  If there are enough volunteers, the individual commitment would be quite small.
