You don’t have to be of Olympic standard – just come along and have a go.
That is the message from Manx Sport and Recreation as it launches “The Swings of Things”, an initiative to get more adults involved in sport.
Sessions will take place from 9.30 to 11.30am on Mondays during school term times at the National Sports Centre.
The inaugural session will be free and the cost after that will be just £3.15 per session, which includes refreshments.
Attendees can try out table tennis, badminton, short tennis, squash and racquet ball.
Qualified coaches will be present to assist, if required.
On 12 September, coaches will also run taster sessions in walking netball and rugby, cricket and tri golf.
Once a month, a new sport will be on offer for participants to try alongside the established sports.
Lesley Patterson, of Manx Sport and Recreation, said: ‘In line with our Strategy for Sport, we would like to encourage people back into a sport that they perhaps haven’t played for a while or to try something new.
‘It’s about having fun, meeting new people and developing new skills.
‘Don’t worry if you aren’t at Olympic standard – this is about playing at your own level and enjoying what you do. We all have to start somewhere.’
