This year over 100 children took part in the programme which provides opportunities for local children to try out many sports, including hockey, cricket, golf, tennis, rugby, New Age Kurling, Boccia, basketball amongst others, to promote Fundamental Movement Skills training to girls and boys aged 6 to 12 years old.

Here, Ballymena Community Sport Development Officer Gary Boyd explains the success of the initiative.
