REDBRIDGE residents have the opportunity to get fighting fit for free, as coaching schemes are rolled out across the borough.

Play Sport London runs until 30 September with expert coaching sessions for people of all ages and abilities at five Redbridge clubs.

The aim is to build on the success of an earlier scheme, Summer of Sport, which reached around 8,000 Londoners last year.

A summary of the activities in and around Redbridge is listed below.
