600 young people take part in the GSLA Sports Train programme

The GSLA’s Summer Sports & Leisure Programme 2025 got off to a great start with over 600 young people registered and taking part in the Sports Train programme.
The programme which has been open since schools closed for the summer last week has become an annual event attracting children throughout the summer.
GSLA officials today reminded the public that even with such high numbers it was not too late to sign up “All you need to do is complete a parental consent form or accompany your child on their first visit to the Sports Train Programme.”
There are different sporting and physical activities taking place throughout the week for different age groups, with parents advised to watch out for the different venues for older age groups.
This year the programme includes all main sports facilities using Bayside Sports Complex, Lathbury Sports Complex and for the first time as part of the GSLA’s own programme the Europa Sports Complex, although this has been used by football, cricket and rugby in recent years.
