A Sheffield sports centre is rallying round the local community to get them involved in a slashed racketball offer.

Concord Sports Centre, in Shiregreen, has a smashing offer with five racketball coaching sessions for £5.

The weekly sessions will be taught by Sam Wileman, from English Squash and Racketball, who are the national governing body for squash and racketball.

The sport, which is similar to squash, will be at the centre every Monday at 1.15 – 3.15 starting on Monday July 19.

Dan Waddington, Programme and Development Manager for Concord Sports Centre which is operated by Sheffield International Venues (SIV), said: “Sheffield International Venues are committed to making health and fitness fun and accessible to the entire community. This racketball opportunity is a fantastic way of getting fit and improve your skills, so don’t let this opportunity shoot past you!”

The discounted sessions are available until August 16.
