Community Club Tasters
Our schools receive five tasters in a school year. We work with local clubs and coaches to deliver fun, active sessions to various year groups and link the schools & their families with local community clubs. These tasters often lead onto competition/festival at the clubs base so that parents see the clubs venue and coaches in action. Young leaders from Oakwood, Meadow & Swakeleys assist various community clubs in running tasters in each of their feeder schools within the network.

Quotes:
"Just wanted to thank you for arranging such a fabulous taster session. Our Year 5 & 6 pupils have had a wonderful experience. Fourteen of our pupils were unable to ride a bike this morning, now nine of them are able to do this. Thank You!"
" I think it's a great idea having competitions at the club, the parents of the later session all wanted to get their children down at the club so providing the pathway "
"Just letting you know that the dance taster session was absolutely amazing! Scott was fantastic with the children and they loved it too. I was really impressed with the way he communicated with the children and the way he broke down the dance steps. Really, really impressed!"
"Thanks to the girls (and their teachers) that came along to Oak Farm to support the tri-golf taster sessions. All of our teachers commented on how sensible, mature and helpful they were and they were definitely a credit to their school. They certainly knew what they were doing and, in fact, led at least one of the sessions."
"Just to say we were really happy with our sessions last week and we had great fun with all the schools. a big thank you also to all the girls that helped us run the sessions smoothly."
