This element may be carried out indoors or outdoors depending on the weather and activity. The HAF Programme is FULLY FUNDED for any child who’s family receive free school meals. This is not to be confused with the free school meal for every child in reception to year 2 that is also on offer.


You will receive an E-Voucher from your school if you are eligible to access the HAF for free across the school holidays. Our sessions are aimed at school aged children from 4 – 16 and we are able to encompass appropriate activities for all those ages. Our team of qualified staff will work with the children to ensure our sessions are accessible and engaging for all participants. For those children who do not have free school meals we also provide paid spaces for you to access that will allow your child to engage and interact with the activities in our programme. In both the free spaces and paid spaces a warm hot meal will be provided alongside fruit and healthy snacks every day of the programme. If you’re child does have any allergies please ensure to let us know on booking.

Part of our make up at Sports Connect is our highly skilled staff who ensure our programmes are accessible for all. If your child has an EHCP, disability or requires some extra support please do let us know so we can make our provision as inclusive as possible.

Lee Suter

Overall my time at K Sports was very successful, the course can be as good or bad as you make it depending on your aspirations and work ethic. K Sports was the best decision for me as a stepping stone for a better life.

Archie Lally

I had two very good years at the K Sports U19 Academy improving my education and football. I was introduced to the 1st team and am still involved now. A big reason for this is the staff understanding about how and what were the best ways to work effectively.
