Laureus Urban Stars - BMX & Mountain Biking East Manchester
Manchester, UK – Monday 12 May 2014: Last week saw the launch of an east Manchester sports partnership delivering free BMX and Mountain Biking sessions in Newton Heath and Clayton.
The sessions, run every Thursday and Friday, are part of the Laureus Urban Stars programme in Manchester managed by the charity Active Communities Network and funded by the Laureus Sport for Good Foundation.
Working in partnership with the National Cycling Centre BMX and Mountain Biking Team alongside the Greater Manchester Police, the free sessions take place from 5:30pm – 7:30pm on Thursdays at the Scotland Hall Road Park in Newton Heath and Fridays at the former Clayton Youth Centre on Clayton Street. After 10 weeks of BMX within their locality, both areas will move to the mountain bike trail on Clayton Vale for the remaining 10 weeks.
Although slightly hampered by the poor weather when they launched last week, the sessions are set to be at full speed this week aiming to attract young people aged 12-18 years old from both areas over the 20 week period.
Alongside the Mountain Biking and BMX sessions, Laureus Urban Stars in Manchester and Salford also offers free football sessions on Mondays at Eccles College and starting this Wednesday (14th May) at Ordsall Leisure Centre, Salford. Boxing is also offered on Tuesdays and Thursdays at the Bridgewater Boxing Club, Salford.
Anthony Schiavo, Programme Manager – North West & Midlands, Active Communities Network said:
“This is a unique opportunity for young people in Manchester to engage with such a diverse, exciting and exhilarating activity.
“These sessions are an excellent opportunity for young people to experience and have fun in their local environment under the excellent and safe leadership of the Laureus Urban Stars coaches and experienced staff from the National Cycling Centre.
“This also allows us to develop our partnership work and the local Greater Manchester Police teams and partners have worked hard to put these sessions on and publicise them, meeting with young people and informing them of what’s on offer.”
