TWO sports camps are being held for young basketball and hockey players during the summer holidays.

Organised by Fenland District Council, both will be at the Hudson Leisure Centre in Wisbech. Each one takes place over three days and is for boys and girls aged eight to 12.

The basketball camp is on August 5-7 and the hockey on August 27-29.

The cost for each one is £30 per child for three days. Spaces are limited so pre-booking is essential.

Councillor Steve Garratt, FDC’s portfolio holder responsible for young people and sports development, said: “These two camps are a great opportunity for youngsters who are keen to develop their skills and take them to a higher level – maybe by joining a local sports club.

“We have been developing various ways of helping local clubs attract more members and fun events like these are a good way of pointing young people in that direction.”
