Councillor Ken Wyatt, Cabinet Member for Health & Wellbeing, said: "I am really pleased that such a great programme of summer activities for young people has been put together again.

"It is so important for kids from all our local communities to have the chance to keep active, get moving and stay healthy."

Sport and Leisure Manager, Chris Siddall, said: "Mega Active has been helping kids in Rotherham to have fun and creative summer holidays for over half a decade now.

"Hundreds of kids who have taken part in Mega Active will be able to testify how great it is that we're able to offer such a wide range of activities across the borough.

"We've got another great year lined up. Don't forget to request your free Mega Active brochure to see what's happening."

Alongside Mega Active, there will be the Rotherham Summer Games event on Friday September 2 between 10am and 3pm, to help Rotherham kids get ready for the Olympics in 2012.

Taking place at Herringthorpe Stadium, the free action packed day, aimed at ages 5 - 15 years, will include a variety of fun sports activities which will test speed, strength, stamina and flexibility.
