Families in Kendal will be able to take part in free activity sessions for children thanks to lakes leisure teaming up with Asda Sporting Chance.

With Sporting Chance, children have the option to participate in a wide range of different free activity sessions during each of the school holidays in 2010, covering the more traditional sports as well as more unusual activities children may never have tried before. 

Some of the activities available with lakes leisure and Asda Sporting Chance include Tri Golf, Hockey, Trampolining and Synchronised Swimming.

Asda Sporting Chance vouchers are available at the checkouts from Kendal and are also available to download from www.asda.com/freeactivities

Diane Knowles, Development Officer at lakes leisure said: “lakes leisure are delighted to be working in partnership with Asda to bring the sporting chance programme to Kendal. This initiative will benefit families and fits in with our commitment to improving young people’s health in Kendal

Asda’s Head of the Community, Fiona Campbell-Reilly, added: “Asda is thrilled to be working with lakes leisure. Our Sporting Chance scheme offers families an affordable and enjoyable way to get active and gives children the chance to develop new skills they may previously have been unable to due to financial constraints.”

Asda is offering the sessions for free to allow children to enjoy a healthy, active lifestyle. A recent report by the British Heart Foundation found that only one in eight children are getting the recommended 60 minutes a day of daily physical activity*. The Sporting Chance initiative is a simple way to help families address and improve their lifestyles and have fun at the same time.

Now in its third year, the Asda Sporting Chance initiative will provide more than 3 million free spaces across 50 different activities for children to enjoy in the holidays during 2010.
