Irish Sports Council Family Fun Day

ISC_Family_Sports_Day_Thumbnail1Dún Laoghaire-Rathdown Sports Partnership and the Irish Sports Council invite families to get out and get active at Family Sports Day on 24th September

As part of the Irish Sports Council's National campaign to get families active, Dún Laoghaire-Rathdown Sports Partnership, in conjunction with dlr Leisure Services, are holding a FREE sports taster day on the 24th September. The Irish Sports Council's Family Sports Day will run from 12pm to 3pm in dlr Leisure Services Loughlinstown.

The key aim of the event is to get families active, try a variety of sports, introduce them to local clubs and of course have loads of fun.

According to event organiser and Coordinator of Dún Laoghaire-Rathdown Sports Partnership Shane McArdle, "This event will help families get active by introducing them to some new sports and local clubs in a fun environment, at no cost.  All the activities on offer will be ones that you can pick up easily and where families can join in together including archery, trampolining, dance, badminton, and Olympic handball - plus a selection of retro games including three-legged and wheelbarrow races."

He added, "We'll have experts on hand for each activity to help out and show you - plus, activities will be indoor and outdoor, so the event will go ahead rain or shine!"

Participants will receive a map showing the location of all the activities - people should come early and be prepared to participate in sports they've never tried!

This event is just one of many free or very affordable sporting programmes organised by dlr Sports Partnership this autumn, including the dlr Community 5k on October 8th at 2pm in Kilbogget Park.
