ONCE again the summer holidays are approaching us and the prospect of children being at home for the six-week holidays seems daunting for many parents.

Throughout Coventry, Solihull, Banbury and Warwickshire, Specialising in Sport! could provide your child with an opportunity to escape the inevitable boredom and have an enjoyable week of athletics.

Norwich Union star:track is a successful athletics scheme for eight to 15-year-olds that has been running across the country for many years under the jurisdiction of UK Athletics.

Schemes across the Greater Warwickshire area provide a variety of opportunities for children to enjoy track and field athletics.

Throughout the week, star:track staff, many of whom have come through the schemes themselves, will coach traditional athletics events and practice game related activities.

For the tenth successive year, Specialising in Sport is organising schemes across the area running daily for five hours from 10am until 3 pm.

The scheme comes to the Stratford Community Athletics Track between August 8 and 12. For further information or to request a booking form, contact the scheme's hotline on 01827 711154 or e-mail Steve, Beth or Zo at startrack@specialisinginsport.co.uk
