SPORTS-MAD youngsters can sign up for a fun-filled week on an Ernie Energise course.

Children aged between eight and 12 who want to improve in their favourite sport or just want to try their hand at a whole new ball game can take advantage of the Wycombe District Council run scheme.

The courses are run at John Hampden Grammar School, Marlow Hill, High Wycombe.

Children will work in groups overseen by professional coaches and sports such as football, cricket, basketball, hockey, lacrosse and much more are on offer.

The courses will run up until August 31.

Parents in need of a well-deserved break over the holidays can expect to pay up to £40 for the week-long session.

A spokesman for Wycombe District Council said: "There is bound to be a course for all boys and girls out there so come along and join in the fun."
