About Us
Active Anklebiters is a local sports coaching business which aims to provide fun-filled and affordable sport related classes to young children.
As well as introducing children to the wide world of sport, the activity programme is specifically designed to help children develop their co-ordination, balance and control within a safe environment.
The Active Anklebiter Activity Programme runs in term time blocks of various sports which include Rugby, Basketball, Football and more!
Places are limited and so must be booked in advance. Find your nearest class on our Find and Book Classes section.
Weekly Classes
These weekly sessions are open to children aged 2-5 years old and require a grown-up to be present during all sessions. During the classes, expect to be just as involved as your Anklebiter by helping them to improve their throwing, catching, jumping and kicking throughout the weeks.
Our primary aim is enjoyment however your child will learn about colours, numbers, co-ordination and balance. As well as working with a grown-up, children will be encouraged to work independently and in teams to help develop their social skills.
Support and encouragement is required from grown-ups at all times as positivity is the key to progression!
Activity Camps
Our increasingly popular Activity Camps run from 10am-2pm during the School Holidays. They are open to children from 4-8 years old and are just £10 per day!
Currently camps are run in Annan at Violetbank Rugby Pitches where we have the opportunity to use the outdoor space for our activities. Children have the chance to experience a variety of different sports such as Rugby, Football, Tennis, Cricket, Dodgeball and much more.
All your Anklebiter will need on the day is sensible footwear, waterproof clothing and a packed lunch.
I look forward to seeing some more Anklebiters soon!
