New Addington Leisure Centre to host celebration of the Games success.

To celebrate the success of the Games, New Addington Leisure & Community Centre will be hosting a FREE Be Inspired open day packed full of sporting activities on Saturday 13^th August.

The aim of the event is to encourage and inspire local residents of all ages to try some of the sports they have watched and enjoyed during the Games and New Addington Leisure Centre, along with local sports clubs, will be offering visitors the opportunity to take part in taster sessions for multiple sports! The timetable of the day looks like below:

*The day is open to all ages from 5 years upwards, and designed for families to come along together to play some sport together.

Customers will only be required to book in via the Better UK app for the gym and studio session due to limited capacity. For the sports club sessions and open Badminton will BETTER – all you need to do is turn up! 

Commenting on the event, Nick Englefield, General Manager for New Addington Leisure & Community Centre said: “With over 35 million UK residents reported to have watched the Games over the 11 days of competition, we know they have had a huge impact on the nation’s psyche and our attitude to sport. We wanted to capitalise on that enthusiasm and encourage people to move from the sofa to the sports hall and try some of the sports they’ve enjoyed viewing for themselves.  Research shows that taking part in team or individual sports offers huge physical and mental health benefits and we hope our Be Inspired open day will be the catalyst for local residents to have a go at something new or different.

We’re delighted to be able to work in partnership with our resident clubs to be able to provide this opportunity for the local community to take part in sport all day, for absolutely free” .
