Our Programme Warm Up and Cool Down Our three-day Skills Development Camps remain the most popular of our holiday sports courses. All are run by our resident sports professionals and qualified coaching staff, often supported by elite coaches and players. Participants receive expert athletic development guidance, are offered nutrition advice and take part in discussions on topics such as confidence, pressure and the growth mindset with visiting sports psychologists. The Junior Multi-Sports Camp is aimed at younger children and offers an interesting, fun and diverse experience, developing core skills across a range of team and individual sports. Our Taster Days encourage children to try a variety of new sports and are usually designed and delivered in conjunction with the relevant national governing body. For the most focused and committed athletes we create a bespoke Performance Camp, offering an insight into the high performance lifestyle of an elite athlete. This focuses the mind and body, concentrating on leadership and character development as well as improving vital key skills and attributes. We are able to offer Warm Up and Cool Down clubs before and after each sports camp during the Easter holidays and the May half term. These are optional sessions, will incur an additional cost of 5 per session and will run at 8am-9am and 3pm-4pm. They will be delivered by our resident Strength and Conditioning Coach.

Junior Multi-Sports Camp Inspired by the Olympics and Commonwealth Games, our Junior Multi-Sports Camp offers an introduction and early development of a variety of sports including football, mini-tennis, badminton, futsal, kwik cricket, hockey, tag rugby and basketball. We start with the basics and build to more advanced levels, according to ability and interest. We focus on fun as much as learning while also helping to develop budding sports stars. Previous camps have concluded with a day made up of sports chosen by the children, and a Mini- Olympics including time in the swimming pool and on the athletics track. This day has proved particularly popular. Age 8-11 years 29-31 May Age 8-11 years 6 7

Our experienced and professional coaches can help athletes progress in their preferred events, or can introduce new events and techniques to participants who would like to train or compete in more than one discipline. Age 8-11 years Supported by Sevenoaks School s cricket partner, Invicta Cricket Coaching, and other county and regional level coaches, our camp will focus on the three key disciplines of batting, bowling and fielding/keeping.
