Yo! Active is delivered by WV Active and Wolves Foundation and offers a wide range of free activities all year round to children and young people aged up to 18, or 25 for care leavers or those with a disability.
Young residents whose family pay Council Tax to the City of Wolverhampton Council can take their pick from over 40 hours of free physical activity sessions per week, including free swimming, gym and court hire, multi sport sessions, basketball and special activities for the under 5s.
There are also tailored sessions for school holidays, including the summer break. Highlights over the next few weeks include family splash and dance sessions, water sports, SEND scoot and ride, ultimate frisbee, family multi sports and a Nerf Club. See the full timetable at Yo! Active - Summer Holiday Activities.
Councillor Obaida Ahmed, Cabinet Member for Health, Wellbeing and Community, said: "Yo! Active is a brilliant way to inspire our children and young people to take part in regular physical activities, with a fantastic range of free opportunities available – not only during the long summer holidays, but all year round.
"Becoming more physically active can help improve heart health, build strong bones and muscles, control weight and reduce symptoms of anxiety and depression, and it's also a great way to make new friends.
"Over 15,000 children and young people have already signed up to Yo! Active, and I'd encourage other youngsters, parents and guardians to check out what is on offer so that they don't miss out."
