Give It A Go Weekend

As the opening for the Olympics gets underway in Paris, this is your opportunity to have a go at an Olympic sport of your choice.

Clubs up and down Leicestershire are offering free trial sessions for you to take part in, to see if you are the next Laura Kenny or Linford Christie.

Below you’ll find the list of organisations offering the free sessions. For some, places are limited, so do contact them ahead of time.

成人快手 Radio Leicester will be visiting some of the clubs offering the sessions from Friday 26 July to Sunday 28 July. If you see us come and say "Hi" and let us know how you’re enjoying it.
