Saturday Init (activities for ages 13 - 19)

What's Saturday INIT?

It's part of a wider project called Burntwood INIT which aims to give young people something to do across weekends and is for ages 13 - 19 inclusive.

The project has ran in recent years with fantastic results. Sport England has provided funding to support this project and is being delivered in partnership by Lichfield District Council, Staffordshire County Council's Youth Service and the Beacon Community Church.  The project will also be supported by Staffordshire Police, Staffordshire Fire and Rescue.

So what's on?

Burntwood Leisure Centre will offer facilities on a Saturday evening 6pm - 9pm during the winter months and will provide Basketball, Football, Trampolining, Table Tennis, Badminton, squash and racquetball for young people who wish to play and develop their skills in sport. Qualified coaches will be present to support this process.

There will be also be swimming passes on offer so you can take advantage of free exercise during other times of the week as part of their membership package to the leisure centre. Download a poster to find out more.
