The Story So Far….

The Sports Centre has been fully open for one year now and in that year we’ve certainly been busy! Lee and his team have set up a membership only gym (we have our target 180 members), established the STP and sports halls as venues for a wide range of team sports, worked with our sports professionals to introduce fitness classes to the dance studio, roller skating, indoor and outdoor boot camp sessions, football coaching and martial arts classes! Over a week we see young and old, male and female participants enjoying our sports and activities - a fact we are very proud of –we aim to be a community sports facility for everyone.

Highlights

In the last few weeks our Play Touch Rugby Initiative in conjunction with The Rugby League has seen Super League players Weller Hauraki and Ali Lauitiiti and Mirfield-born professional RL referee Richard Silverwood playing touch rugby with our Monday night Our Fit4Force Boot camp regulars are achieving amazing fitness and weightless goals – as are our youngsters who enjoy the Youth-a-cise sessions each week.

Roller-skating, for young and old is a Mirfield sensation! Who could have predicted that we would have 80 enthusiastic skaters in our Saturday Skate sessions, or that the ladies only Monday session would have been so popular!

Mirfield remains a hotbed of football talent too; more than 150 boys and girls are enjoying football coaching and team practices both indoors and outdoors each week
