Throwback to last year’s Easter egg hunt! 🐣✨

The main event this year is happening this Wednesday, and we’ve got a surprise lined up for all our athletes — we can’t wait to see their faces and hear their laughter!

There’s going to be lots of fun, energy, and of course… plenty of eggs to find! 🥚💛 Who’s ready?!

Well… that was a first in my coaching career! 🙌

92 years young and attending her very first Barn session 💪

When one of our student athletes asked if she could bring her mother-in-law along, who was visiting from Derbyshire, we honestly didn’t know what to expect…

Safe to say, Estelle blew us away. Absolute legend.

Our trainee coaches prepared with adapted exercises and a plan for every scenario 👏 Coach Alex kept an eye on the two, and pairing her up with the amazing Carol? What a duo — unstoppable energy between them!

Not sure what Estelle’s secret is, but we could all learn a thing or two from that remarkable lady 💙

First full session out in the field now it’s light enough 🙌

Running, skipping (tricky but fun 😅), throwing, catching—and lots of smiles and laughter!

Got to love Niall’s distraction tactics too… this week it was a “clown in the field” 🤡😂

Great start to the season 💪✨

Thank you so much  Newcastle Tesco Extra in the Community! All our sporting athletes are going to love finding the eggs ...
