Leicester Sports Arena will host free basketball and football coaching sessions on Saturday 27 August to get more people active in the local community and celebrate Team GB's achievements at the Rio 2016 Games.
The event is part of I Am Team GB - a nationwide campaign that has inspired thousands of UK clubs to open their doors to new participants. This campaign is brought to you by ITV and The National Lottery, working with the British Olympic Association, UK Sport and supported by Join In, to inspire the Great British public to take part in sport.
What's more, many of the nation's Olympians, fresh from the Rio 2016 Olympic Games, will be attending events across the nation to give people the opportunity to stand shoulder to shoulder with Team GB.
Leicester Sports Arena is proud to fly the I Am Team GB flag in the Leicestershire area.
If your children like to play basketball, football or badminton and you're interested in signing them up for some coaching sessions then come down to Leicester Sports Arena on Saturday 27th August between 9am – 1pm and they can join in a taster session, completely free of charge.
