Summer of sports is hailed a success
From ultimate frisbee sessions to athletics, summer sports projects in Corby are proving they are top of the league.
And hundreds of youngsters have been showing they're good sports by taking advantage of a range of schemes organised by Corby Council's sports development team.
So far children have enjoyed cricket and soccer sessions at West Glebe Park and cricket and gymnastics at Lodge Park Sports Centre.
And there's plenty more sporting fun on the agenda.
Corby Council's lead member for Community, Cllr John McGhee,
said: "Again this year we have put on a wide range of activities for the young people of Corby to enjoy over their summer and keep them
busy.
"The last couple of weeks youngsters have enjoyed sports, dance, arts, crafts and play.
"We have even had The Tate Movie Truck visit West Glebe Park and had around 1,000 people enjoy our National Play Day.
"All sessions and activities have been thoroughly enjoyed by everyone and our organisers are doing a fantastic job in providing exciting and new activities for free or affordable prices.
"We still have a lot of activities left to join and it's not too late to book a place."
