Sports for young people

Mini Youth Sports Camp

Our Mini Youth Sports Camps are a safe and exciting holiday activity programme for your children.

We offer high quality multi-sport coaching for children aged 7 to 11. The camps take place during the school holidays at Medway's sports centres. 

Our team of experienced sports coaches deliver fun-packed sessions of carefully managed coaching and games in a variety of indoor and outdoor sports.

We offer a variety of sessions throughout the week, these include: 

  • morning
  • afternoon
  • full day. 

All coaches are DBS-checked, and the weekly programme of sports and activities are planned by our physical education and school sport specialists. You can be assured of a safe and high-quality experience for your child. 

HAF (Holiday Activity Fund) offer a limited number of free places at our Sports Camps for children who receive benefit-related free school meals. The HAF places within our Sports Camps are available Easter, Summer and Christmas holidays only and are part of Medway Go activities.
