The HAF clubs are back again in Fylde over the School Christmas holidays and we are looking forward to an exciting programme of fun filled activities, games, sports, arts and crafts and free food.

Funded by the Department for Education, this programme aims to provide healthy food and enriching activities to disadvantaged children over the school Christmas break.
The holiday club places are available free to children who receive benefits-related free school meals. To make a booking, a unique HAF booking code is required. This can be obtained from your child’s school. You cannot turn up on the day without a booking
We understand that not all children enjoy sports. Please have a look at our new club: HAF Creative by Absolute which also includes some fun filled games that will keep your child active.

Overview: This Winter, CrossFit Blackpool will be delivering The Dept for Education Award Winning Project – The Strong Girl Squad HAF Programme. The programme is designed to engage secondary age girls (Years 7-12) with strength and conditioning, building healthy relationships with food and their bodies, and offering them the opportunity to meet inspirational members of their local community. It also offers somewhere girls can learn about strength and conditioning in a safe environment as commercial gyms are frequently uncomfortable places for women and girls of all ages, and most secondary school PE curriculums do not include strength training for girls. Our project leads are qualified strength and conditioning coaches with many years’ experience of coaching young people in both weightlifting and high intensity interval training. The programme introduces and instructs the participants in a fun, safe and effective exercise routine consisting of weightlifting, bodyweight movements, squats, presses, sprints, and other cardio intensive exercises. Our exercise programme is designed to be scalable to the ability and needs of any participant. Movements can be adjusted and swapped to get the same or similar stimulus, while keeping the participants safe. It is our belief that our physical training programme can show teenage girls that it is fun to be strong, and to enjoy what our bodies are capable of, instead of focusing too much on what our bodies look like. We would welcome girls of all ages, shapes, sizes and levels of ability. No one will be singled out because of their ability or inexperience; everyone will train together in an environment of support and encouragement. On arrival a snack e.g. tea and toast will be offered and a lunch will be provided. ** Children with Special Educational Needs & Disabilities may be accepted but please check by calling the club first before booking.
