The Sports Development Team at

of the Borough have the opportunity to take part in a variety of
sports through coaching sessions run by qualified and experienced
coaches both in the community and at specific schools.
The team is comprised of seven
members of staff staff with lots of casual staff for larger
events/projects

events, projects and classes all year round, these cover all ages
and abilities. Anyone can come along, once you have
filled out a quick and easy questionnaire your are set to take
part in these fun, new and most importantly cheap exercise classes.
With something for everyone from Nordic
walking to Zumba Tamworth borough Council has a
class to suit YOU and we don't forget the
kids, we have activities running every half term, summer holidays
and some schools across the borough have our after school fitness
clubs up and running which have proven successful and popular with
families in all schools.
We are working in Partnership with
Sports Across Staffordshire to achieve these objectives. www.sportacrossstaffordshire.co.uk
Zumba
This is a new Latin-inspired,
easy-to-follow, calorie-burning, dance-fitness-party.
Feel the music and let loose, Zumba
first took the USA by storm before coming over seas to the
UK, it has had the same effect hear with thousands of people
taking part in a Zumba class each day, with its easy to follow
routine that works the whole body in just one hour.
Nordic
Walking
Nordic walking has recently been
linked with cardiac rehabilitation, this is because you can make it
as easy or as hard as you like, changing speed and distance of the
walk and also allows you to choose how much you work your arms with
the poles. It's an activity where you walk at your own pace!
Fitness and Fun
Class
We run after school fitness clubs
around Tamworth for key stage 1 and 2. We change schools every term
and try and get to as many as we can so all children can enjoy
our free and enjoyable session. This is a games and
activities based club which involves using lots of energy and
team bonding! Children will be playing a variety of games and doing
a small fitness based circuit to have lots of fun whilst exercising
and keeping fit.
Buggy Fitness
This outside power walking with strength and stress reducing
exercise not only allows your child to get lots of fresh
air but also allows you to get fitter! this class starts and
finishes at the Surestart centre in Glascote Heath.
