All our team members have completed the Children First Training Programme and have attained certification from the HSE. Our team is fully qualified in a variety of sports and activities.
Teen Fitness
Astro Active Centre offers fully supervised after-school gym fitness sessions tailored for the specific needs of teenagers. Regular exercise is proven to improve not only physical health but also mental health and can help deal with the challenges that students face in everyday life. These sessions are an ideal way for teenagers not involved in team sports to increase physical activity. Equally, they can supplement team training by focussing on strength and body conditioning.
Sessions will be tailored for each individual and a programme devised using a combination of cardio-vascular workouts and resistance training using body weight and free weight exercises.
These sessions are available between 4pm and 6pm Tuesdays and Thursdays, with a 45-minute duration. The last session is at 5.15pm. These are available to teenagers aged 13 to 16 years.
€4 per session.
€30 for 12 sessions.
Discounted student gym membership rates are also available for students aged 17 and over.

Mini Soccer
Our Mini Soccer sessions aim to provide a positive introduction to sport and the development of social skills. Our qualified children’s sports coaches will teach your child the fundamental skills of soccer but the focus is not on talent or ability but on fun and teamwork in a safe environment. Mini Soccer is a great introduction to team sport and will help develop co-ordination and gross motor skills.
Our new term of Mini Soccer will takes place from Saturday 7th October- 18th November (exc. 28th October) 2023 12.30pm to 1.15pm and is suitable for children aged 3 to 6years. 6 weeks, cost €35 per child. (discounts available to annual members and for siblings)
Astro Kids- Active Start Program
Our Active Start program is for children aged from 3-6years and is the first part of our Mini Activities Program. Children are introduced to ‘Physical Literacy’. If we cannot kick we cannot play Soccer, if we cannot throw we cannot play basketball, if we cannot run we cannot do athletics. These are the foundations for developing an athlete. We learn through play and our program is about having fun, playing games and learning to develop key skills for sport.
Our Active Start program begins on 9th September 2023 and is a 4 week program run every Saturday between 12.30-1.15pm in the block. Cost is €25 per child with sibling discounts available. Discounts are also available to our members.

Astro Camps
When school’s out for summer, and Hallowe’en and Easter too, our Astro Camps are here to entertain! A week-long programme of activities includes a variety of sports to give the child a well-rounded sports experience and also arts and crafts, baking and movie time. We include sports in the itinerary to give children a flavour of those that they may not commonly encounter, such as badminton, tennis, basketball, rounders and unihoc.
All our supervisors have attended the Irish Sports Council Code of Ethics courses or HSE Children First training programme.
Children should bring a packed lunch each day and a change of clothes.
