Wear One Community Day at the Beacon of Light
Beacon of Light is set to host a Wear One Community Day in partnership with Sunderland College and Foundation of Light.
New year, new offers at the Beacon.
Find a new passion and kickstart a healthy new you this January. Each weekday we will be hosting drop-in sessions featuring a different sport every day.
Some popular favourites as well as a brand-new offering will be available for you to come in and enjoy.
๐ธ Badminton
Give your friend a run around on the badminton court.
๐พ Pickleball
The newly popular pickleball is ideal for two or four players.
Similar to tennis, pickleball uses short-handled bats to hit a perforated plastic ball over a net.
๐ Basketball
Shoot some hoops on our half court. Can be played on your own or with friends.
๐ Table Tennis
Have a fast-paced rally on the table tennis tables. Ideal for all ages.
โฝ๏ธ Footy Tennis
Test out your touch and control against your opponent in our brand-new sport of footy tennis.
Two opposing teams made of one, two or three players hit a football over a low netย to try and score a point.
Beacon of Light General Manager, Jemma Dowson said: โWe want to encourage the local community to come in and try out some new sports and get active in the new year with these drop-in sessions.โ
