Yoga and mindfulness have been shown to improve both physical and mental health in school-age children (ages 6 to 12). Yoga improves balance, strength, endurance, and aerobic capacity in children. Yoga and mindfulness offer psychological benefits for children as well. A growing body of research has already shown that yoga can improve focus, memory, self-esteem, academic performance, and classroom behaviour, and can even reduce anxiety and stress in children. – George Ledger

Started with a group of friends who just wanted to train together before competition. It has since evolved, to people coming together of different abilities just to join and play the sport they love. ‘Monday Night Volleyball’ is a place for those who are just starting out or experienced, to just play games together. The group meet on Monday nights at Shotley Bridge Tennis Club and play in the dome from 8pm till 10pm. – George Ledger
