Leicester Riders Stars In Market Harborough This Afternoon

Stars from Leicester Riders basketball team are in Market Harborough later this afternoon to give free coaching to youngsters aged 12 to 17.

It is part of activities at Burford Green on Western Avenue from 3pm til 5pm, organised by the Harborough District Community Partnership, who will be hosting similar events elsewhere during the summer holidays.

The event also comes during Anti-Social Behaviour Awareness Week, encouraging young people to use our parks and open spaces responsibly.

The programme builds on the success of the recent School Community Safety Roadshows, ‘Respect and Tolerate’, ‘Lighter Nights’ and ‘Safer Summer’ campaigns, with the events designed to appeal to young people looking for something to do during the school-break.

Each event will have additional (non-sport) activities led by Harborough District Children and Young People’s Charity’s (HCYC) youth workers at their Chill-Out Bus alongside refreshments from the Really Awesome Coffee Co’s coffee van.
