As the opening for the Olympics gets underway in Paris, clubs up and down Leicestershire are giving people the opportunity to try an Olympic sport of their choice – free of charge.
Free trial sessions are being offered in association with BBC Radio Leicester, to see if you are the next Laura Kenny or Linford Christie.
The sessions, which include basketball, hockey weightlifting and even break dancing, are taking place between Friday, July 26 and Sunday July 28. For some, places are limited, so people are being reminded to contact them ahead of time.
