Sports Activities

Yes absolutely! Many of us are in the same boat, having not really had a go at any new sport since leaving school years behind. We've got a good selection for you to choose from here and they're all aimed at beginners.

Nope. All experiences are open to beginners. Giving you the chance to try something new without having to join a club, pay membership or buy expensive gear is the whole idea of these sports vouchers.

It depends what activity you choose. Make sure you have a read of each product page as all the requirements are listed on there. If you're in a trampoline park there's no denying you'll need to be fairly physically fit to take part. Others are a lot less physically demanding though.

This depends on the sport. For some activities what you need to wear is specialist and therefore provided for you. Otherwise it's mostly our classic sports/fitness gear look of joggers and trainers - comfortable and easy to move in.

Yes. All our experiences are hosted by experts in their field. If you're being taught a sporting activity, you'll be coached by an instructor who's qualified and skilled at teaching their sport.

Yes. For sports such as fencing the all important protective gear and the foil are provided for you. For things like tennis or snooker lessons you are very welcome to bring your own gear if you have it, as some of you actually prefer that.

Why not book a voucher for them as well and make a bit of a day of it together? It's always great fun when you do a sporting experience with others. You can egg each other on and all that! And if they really don't want to take part, check on each page whether the activity is suitable for spectators - if so, they can come along to watch.

All the instructors are very patient and very good at knowing just how to motivate you. It's normal to feel a little bit apprehensive at first when trying a new sport and yes, it might take a few tries before you get the hang of it, but your coach will be by your side to assist and encourage you.

Only if you want it to! Getting competitive is not really the aim of the game with these taster sessions. It's more about showcasing the sport and giving you an overview of what it's all about.

Many of these experiences are hosted by coaches who run or work at member clubs for the sport they teach. If you really take to it like a duck to water or want to carry on and learn more, ask about joining the sporting club nearest you - they'll be only too pleased to help or point you in the right direction for carrying on with the sport.
