Live Active - Do Something!

Live Active - Do Something!

“The Live Active—Do Something! (LADS) event to took place on Friday 26th November at Harborough Leisure Centre and was attended by 120 targeted boys from 9 secondary schools across our area.  The aim of the event was to encourage teenage boys to try a range of new and exciting activities and adopt a healthy lifestyle and positive self image using sport and education as the vehicles.

The boys attending took part in a range of fitness based activities, including Ultimate Frisbee, martial arts, boxercise, bowling and core stability. They were able to obtain body analysis and fitness advice from the Active Together team from Harborough District Council. 

The boys were given information on opportunities they may want to take part in after the event within the community, for example at sports clubs or the leisure centre.  Their schools will also encourage and support them to take part in and enjoy more PE and school sport.  The boys were be given a goodie bag containing a range of information on these opportunities as well as some snacks sponsored by Sainsbury’s.  Harborough Leisure Centre  kindly provided their facilities at a highly reduced cost for the event.”
