Masters of Martial Arts and ASDA help kids get sporty for FREE
 

Masters of Martial Arts has teamed up with ASDA to extend a helping hand to parents in the Hyndburn, Ribble valley, Pendle and Rossendale Areas by offering FREE sports sessions for kids during the school holidays , providing the perfect solution to keeping kids active while they're off school – at no extra cost to families!

By teaming up with ASDA, Masters of Martial Arts is helping to get kids on the track to stardom – following on from the success of British athletes at the 2008 Olympics. The FREE sports sessions make sport accessible and affordable for families on a tight budget, gearing the Hyndburn, Ribble valley, Pendle and Rossendale Areas’s kids up for a holiday jam packed with sport – swapping TV and video games  for a variety of sporting sessions.

Kids from the Hyndburn, Ribble valley, Pendle and Rossendale Areas will have access to a wide range of martial Arts sessions over both the Easter holiday and the Summer holiday, a great choice of healthy, fun and FREE activities.

All parents need to do is…

• Pop into their local ASDA store during the holidays and pick up a Sporting Chance voucher
• OR download a voucher from www.asda-sportingchance.co.uk
• Book a place with the provider
• Go along on the day with the free voucher

  Martin Dixon Head coach, commented: "This is a fabulous opportunity which ensures that kids
throughout the Hyndburn, Ribble valley, Pendle and Rossendale Areas have access to our wide
range of facilities for FREE. We hope that this initiative encourages parents and children to come down to the FREE sessions, and participate in MARTIAL ARTS WHICH they may not normally consider."

The Sporting Chance initiative also identifies and provides financial support for the best emerging young talent the UK has to offer, with over 700 potential medallists supported by ASDA SportsAid grants every year for the next 5 years.
