Active Schools Timetable 2022-23

Paid classes for Term 2 will be available to book from 6pm this Wednesday 1st February. Classes include Cheerleading, Street & Commercial Dance, and Football, including a brand new Girls Football class at Longniddry Primary School.

We’re excited to bring back Cheerleading and Dance this term, both of which offer the chance to develop a variety of movement skills through music, with the Dance classes providing a mix of styles including street and commercial.

The Football sessions offer an ideal opportunity for beginners to give Football a go and start to learn the fundamentals and develop their skills, all while getting active and having fun with friends. These classes are open to all from beginners to more experienced players who might be looking for a little bit of extra practice. This term, we’ve added an additional P4-7 session at Port Seton Community Centre and a brand new P4-7 Girls Football session taking place indoors at Longniddry Primary School.

Our first wave of this year’s Total Adventure classes, starting after the February break, will also be available to book this Wednesday with three blocks of Paddleboarding at the Whiteadder Water Sports Centre. We’re expecting to introduce more Total Adventure classes later in the term.

Most of our free Active Schools activities have now started, although our Beginner Judo sessions with Destination Judo start this Saturday with spaces still available. The Judo classes can still be booked online.

We also still have spaces available for Badminton and Indoor Bowls, however as these activities have now started, please contact Stewart Sands, Active Schools Coordinator, directly if you would like to book a space at ssands@elcschool.org.uk
