Met-Track launched it's 24th scheme today (Monday 20th March) in the iconic venue that is London's Regents Park.
Over 120 young people benefited from top class coaching by British International athletes in sprints and long jump, while coaches from the Street Chance cricket project, and instructors from one of the Capital's leading dance schools offered alternative activities.
As if this was not enough, the prestigious Metropolitan Police Territorial Support Group arrived in the form of 2-area team 2 who have supported former projects. They gave young people from the boroughs of Camden and Westminster an opportunity to don public order kit .and equipment and fire missiles at uniformed Police officers!
"It sounds outrageous," said Scheme Director John Powell, "but it is a fantastic chance for young people to see exactly ow it's done - and why it's done. And it's terrific fun too!"
The scheme rolls out again tomorrow (21st) and then begins it's weekly sessions, which are open to anyone, every Monday, starting at 4pm on 28th March.
"We want any young people to come down and find out just what sport has to offer - and we aren't looking for stars, just people who want to take part and have fun," said John.
