Pre-School Activities will be running today from 10:45-12.

Here are some action shots of class regular Harrison enjoying the various activities set up within the class.

When asked about his favourite part of the class, he declined to comment, instead, throwing a ball at my head then proceeding to chase me with a wooden drumstick.

Class Focus - Wednesday 🎾⚡️⭐️

4pm-5pm (P2-3 Tennis & P4-7 Tennis)

Starting today, we are now running two of our three weekly tennis lesson simultaneously, using the whole main hall. The idea behind this is to ensure we are following the same scheme of work, progressing the children through various designed levels of Tennis ability.

We are aiming very high with our tennis going forward, so keep an eye out for more classes, as the demand continues to grow for Tennis here in Atlantis Leisure.

5pm-6pm (P4-7 Senior Athletics)

Not a lot needs to be said about Colin's Athletics Class, for some of you reading this, you probably attended a MacKenzie let Athletics Club at some stage of your life. Colin is currently teaching over 35 children in various different events to a strong level, and we look forward to continuing to progress as we roll on towards our Winter Athletics Tournament.

As a side note to todays class focus, if you have received a booking letter for a class that you can no longer attend, please e-mail [email protected] so we can fill your child's space. If we don't know you aren't coming anymore, you will still be billed if the class is full with a waiting list.

Class Focus - Tuesday 🎾🏆

4pm-4:45pm (P1 Tennis)

Similar to P1 Football on Mondays, this is a brand new class to allow new Primary School children to have dedicated time a week to work on their tennis skills. At this stage a lot of work goes into simple hand-eye co-ordination as without it, tennis can prove to be difficult. Starting off at 45 minutes, your child will be taught the basics of tennis, from how to handle the racket properly, progressing all the way to being able to effectively rally.

4pm-5pm (P2-3 Athletics)

Athletics is something that we've watched grow massively in the last year here in Atlantis Leisure. The number of children we are offering Athletics to each week has more than doubled since 2021 and still shows signs of continuing to grow. At this age, we are slowly shifting the focus from fun games to Athletics Events (Fun Games are absolutely still involved, don't worry) but we spend a little bit more time showing them different activities within athletics, including long jump, triple jump, (foam) javelin, shot putt, speed bounce and several different running events and many more.

We are hoping to run our first ever Atlantis Athletics Championships later on this year, so if it's something that your child is interested in (even if they're not attending a class) then keep your eyes open for further detail.

Thank you to everyone for your uptake in all our classes, old and new. We are excited to get back to the normality of our daily sports programme with all your children. As always, please e-mail [email protected] for bookings and enquiries.

Thanks,

Kevin Keen
Playsport Development Officer

PlaySport Class Focus - Mondays ⭐️⚽️

11am-12pm (Pre 3 Toddler Club)

This will be an extended version of the previously run Micro Movers. We received feedback that the 30 minutes was difficult to coincide with Swimming so we've made it a drop in session for a whole hour. Parents & Toddlers are welcome anytime within the hour, be it for 10 minutes or 45 minutes. This will be coach led but with minimal structure, to allow your children to play around and be introduced to our coaches in a safe environment. We are also happy to announce we have lowered our Pre-School class price to £2.50.

1pm-1:30pm (Little Dribblers 3-5 Years)

Little Dribblers is our ever popular Pre-School Football class which serves as our introduction to Football for your children. Running for 30 minutes, your child will be taken through some fun football related games, with emphasis on introducing them to some of the skills and rules of the game. At the moment this class will also be drop in but that is subject to change as the end of the year progresses. £2.50

4pm-4:45pm (Primary 1 Football)

One of the new additions to the PlaySport programme. The idea of having P1 specific classes allows to effectively ensure that children are able to get a space in our programme once they transition into their new Primary Schools. It also allows us to keep the P1 children together without them merging straight away with older children. We are starting this class at 45 minutes to allow the children time to adjust to being at school all day, once they are more settled we will extend the class to the full hour.

As always, please e-mail [email protected] with any feedback, enquiries or to book a space in any of our fantastic classes (remember pre-school is drop in and pay at reception).

Thanks for all the shares and response to the release of our new programme.

We still have some spaces left in our brand new primary one classes but they are filling up pretty fast. Please e-mail the below address in order to secure your space. We once again ask parents to make sure they've checked the dates on the booking letters as some of the classes may have changed day or time.

Just to clarify, Pre-School will resume this coming Monday the 15th. Sorry to anyone who was told otherwise, this was due to a mix up in communication (I'll take the blame!)

We are aiming to bring back Mini Movers from early September so we will have some more information for you in that soon.

Gymnastics information will be released in the coming weeks which will include how to book a space, we are aware that spaces will very much in demand.

We will be releasing our new Party Programme in the next week or two, so that will be another big step to normality and will contain a lot more varied options going forward.

Any bookings/enquiries can be e-mailed to [email protected]

Looking forward to seeing everyone back on Monday!

Thanks,

🌟 PlaySport August 22 Major Update 🌟

Holiday Camps ☀️💦

Thank you to everyone who has supported and attended our Summer Programme over the last 5 and a half weeks. Our numbers have been great and we hope the children have had an enjoyable time throughout the holidays. On behalf of the camp staff, we extend our thanks specifically to the children, for their great behaviour and boundless enthusiasm. You make our days exciting and fun (sometimes exhausting) and we wouldn't have it any other way. Roll on October for the next 2 weeks of camps!

New PlaySport Programme ⚽️🎾

We have our new PlaySport programme below, most of you have received your booking letters for the next block, if you haven't received your booking letter yet but your child attended before the holidays, they will still have a space. We will go through the classes as soon as we start to make sure the correct attendees are in the correct classes. We will be going through waiting lists tomorrow and offering spaces for the new classes. As always, class enquiries can be directed to [email protected]

We are excited to announce the return of a few favourites! Gymnastics, Mini Movers & Freestyle Friday (S1 Children) are all scheduled to return in the second half of the year. We don't have exact dates yet, but we will be going into more detail on each of these activities in the coming weeks. We are still looking into a permanent solution to allow climbing to return to the programme.

You can email [email protected] to register your interest in Gymnastics and be added to the waiting list and further information will be released in the near future.

Competition Time 👑🌟

We will be running a competition coinciding with the new term, to design a brand new PlaySport Logo to be used going forward around the centre & on our posters etc. Details of this competition will be released in the coming weeks.

As always, your likes, comments & shares are appreciated as we finally look like we are getting back to the full Playsport Programme, none of this would be possible without you.

Good Morning PlaySport.

Everyone should have now received their new booking letters for the block commencing August 15th.

Please note that the days, age range and times may have changed in your child's class. This is not uncommon within Playsport as children move up through the different classes. We acknowledge that from time to time, this change does not suit the children but we have to base our decisions on a larger scale.

As it stands, there will be NO duplicate classes for the opening block. This means that if your child is enrolled into a class, that is the only time that class will be running. This will be reviewed each block depending on the feedback we receive and demands for each class.

We have made the decision this year, to begin running Primary 1 only classes. This is to ensure that the new Primary 1 children are able to get into the programme, and are also looked after with shorter classes initially, with children their own age. This is something we have been planning for some time.

We will be releasing the full programme as soon as possible, and again, we apologise if the class changes have caused any inconvenience.

We are excited for a new block of Playsport, and we hope to have an exciting competition running shortly so keep your eyes open for that opportunity.

As always, any queries/feedback can be directed to [email protected]

Thanks

🌞 Summer Camp Parent Notice 🌞

The P4-7 Summer Camp are planning on ending the day with a water fight (weather permitting, you never know on the West Coast) so we are asking that camp participants today bring a spare change of clothes and are also allowed to bring in their own water guns if they wish to do so.

See you all soon.

As we come to the end of another Playsport year, we say goodbye to our Primary 7 children as they embark on the next step of their lives in High School.

❌ Important PlaySport Climbing Information ❌

Unfortunately, due to staffing shortages, we will not be able to run our climbing programme for at least the beginning of this block.

We are looking to rectify this situation as soon as possible, but in the mean time, we are unable to carry out this part of the programme.

An e-mail will be sent to the classes shortly to update them on this.

If you are interested, or know somebody who may be interested in joining our team as a climbing instructor, contact [email protected] for more details.

We apologise for the inconvenience this may cause.

Good Morning PlaySporters!

Just a quick message that, despite the schools being off today, Playsport will run as normal. (Mostly due to me not realising it was the holidays, whoops.)

The 11-11:30am & 1-1:30pm Pre-School classes and the 4-5pm (P3-P4 Football) & 5-6pm (P4-7 Badminton) will all be on as normal.

We hope you had a nice week, and look forward to having you back with us.
