Wyre Council has announced it is to re-run its popular 'Trysport' scheme for young people again starting later this month.
And North Lancashire Primary Care Trust are to fund the council's 'Active Wyre' scheme to the tune of £16,000.
The Trysport activities during the school holidays will star on July 28 - offering five weeks of sporting activity at the Sports Hall, Sandy Lane, Preesall.
Multi-sports sessions will be run according to age, with 8 to 11 year olds welcome Monday, Wednesday and Friday and older children taking part on Tuesdays and Thursday.
The Friday night football sessions for 12 to 16 year olds will continue throughout the summer.
Qualified coaches will lead the sessions every afternoon between noon and 4pm. Youngsters don't need any particular talent, just bags of enthusiasm.
However, local clubs have been invited to drop in should anyone want to take a sport on to the next level.
Wyre's community sports co-ordinator, Ashley Hackett, said: "The main aim is to encourage more youngsters who might not have taken part in sport before. We're not looking for the best or the worst; we'll welcome anyone who wants to give it a try."
Places are on a first come, first served basis and parents are advised to book ahead by calling Ashley Hackett on 01253 887379.(A parental consent form will need to be signed and this can be downloaded from the council's website at www.wyrebc.gov.uk)
And its not just youngsters who are being encouraged to keep fit and active.
To celebrate the National Health Service's 60th birthday £16,000 is to be ploughed into improving physical activity in Wyre by North Lancashire PCT.
The cash is to be given to Wyre Council which will will be running Active Wyre – a programme of events for residents of all ages to sample activities which take their fancy through a range of subsidised taster courses at various locations though out the borough.
Dr Frank Atherton, the PCT's director of public health said: "We've pledged this funding to getting people more active because we recognise the need to promote health as well as treat disease.
"It isn't about being a top athlete; even light, but regular exercise can make a big improvement to health."
"At the moment only 20% of people in Wyre achieve the recommended daily amount of exercise, but through working with partners such as district councils and sport and leisure providers, we are aiming to improve this each year.
"To help us build better health, this funding will be concentrated on supporting initiatives which are providing ways for people to get active and try something new, sociable and fun such as through dance, cycling and rowing. We need to show that exercise isn't necessarily hard work."
