Fun for kids at Eldon Leisure
Free to Fusion card holders, Junior Allsports takes
place on weekdays between 10am and 12noon and
2pm and 4pm. Or, if they want to try something
different, you could sign the kids up for the
climbing course on Tuesdays and Thursdays. The
two-day courses take place between 10am and
1pm and there’s an intermediate course on
Tuesday 26 and Thursday 28 August. These are
also free to Fusion card holders.
If their interest is more gym-based, Impulse
Evolution takes place every weekday between
1pm and 5pm. You will have to come with them
to do an induction if they haven’t worked out at
Impulse before. Participants have to be between
13 and 15 years old.
The dancers (10-15 years old) in your family can
sign up for Hip Hop Aerobics on Wednesday
afternoons, and if dancing isn’t their thing they
could do Kids’ Karate for eight – 15 year olds.
