Sport

We use the positive impact of sport to empower our students, it helps to give them the confidence to try new challenges.  Many of the young people who come to us have very low self esteem and lack confidence, through sport we build up their self esteem so they take pride in what they achieve at Pinderfields Hospital PRU.

 

ROCK CLIMBING

These sessions involve climbing games that encourage balance and coordination.  Also stretches and simple conditioning, health and fitness permitting. The majority of the sessions are spent attempting the wall routes with the groups working together supporting each other whilst being supervised by instructors.

 

 

GYM

Students attend the gym for weekly sessions in the gym.  Sessions are supervised and led by qualified instructors and our own staff.  Sessions covering general fitness and healthy lifestyles help to contribute to both their physical and mental well being
