Aldercar Community Language College's New £2 Million Sports Centre
We are very proud to be able to offer our pupils a brand new £2million Sports Centre. It is suitable for 5-a-side football, cricket, basketball, badminton, netball & much more, so there is plenty of choice for both curriculum and extra-curriculum activities. There is also a top of the range Fitness Suite; the only people able to benefit from using the Fitness Suite are our pupils & teachers/parents/sport clubs. In addition, we also have an outdoor All Weather Football & Hockey Pitch. These facilities are used by the school until 4:30pm each day and the local community in the evening; the main goal is to help make sport more accessible to everybody within the local population.
Also: Children's Parties, Zumba and more fitness classes coming soon.

Tors Community Sports Club
This is a family activity aimed at pre-schoolers (1-5 years) with parental/carer supervision. The aim is to encourage physical activity and development through play, whilst having fun and burning off some energy!
The hour-long sessions are based around the Youth Sport Trust “Start to Play” scheme and focus on a different skill each week such as jumping, ball skills or movement. They are delivered through story telling, role-play and games. After a warm-up there is a structured section aimed at developing the week’s skill, then a light snack, followed by free play with equipment relevant to that skill.
Children are welcome to participate at different levels depending on their age, physical capability and their ability to concentrate and join in. The sessions are as much about having fun and interacting with other children and adults as they are about the activity!
When:- Saturday during Term Time 10:00am-11:15am
Where:- Fritchley Chapel Hall
Contact: - Linda Philo on tufs@torssports.org.uk
Cost:- £2 per child (£1 per additional child in a family)
