At the Bradfield Club, we are blessed with having a unique space in which to call our home and at its very heart is our sport hall. For over 100 years, the sports hall has seen its share of family parties, community support initiatives and many a sweaty game of five a side football and basketball. Today it is home to our health and fitness programmes, which caters for all ages and abilities.
Fitness classes
Many of our fitness class members have found the classes to be a fun way to get fit, gain confidence in other areas of their life, meet new people and be very beneficial to their overall mental health.
We are open to third party fitness clubs to regularly hire the hall, as is the case with the Taekwondo Club who have happily hired the hall for many years. We also welcome member suggestions for additional classes, both using internal or external instructors. We hope to run street self-defence classes later this year, for example.
Badminton Training
We offer Badminton Training on request, and there is no need to bring your own equipment, as we have rackets and nets. The sports hall is an ideal space for badminton coaching and space for two to three nets for games.
Kids Club
Four times a week, after school, we run Kids Club, which gives our members the opportunity to catch up with their friends, talk to their mentor, play team sports or do their homework in a safe and supportive environment.
Music Suite
We have a dedicated space at the Club for music composition, using our XLP mobile suite, which has proved popular with our members, either as a great introduction to lyric writing, track construction and recording techniques or those with a natural music ability to bring their creation to life and pilot the tracks with their fellow members and social media sites.
We have several past members that are recording artists or music technicians, who frequently revisit the Club to help present members with their musical ambitions and share their experiences of working in the music industry.
Basketball Club
Historically, football has always been the prime sport at the Club, however, during more recent times, basketball has taken the lead but as the sports hall is marked out as basketball court, it’s ideal for competitive matches and on court training.
Our Basketball members have previously received in-house training from a professional basketball coach and now meet twice a week to train and play fast paced but fun, competitive matches.
The players (11 to 17 years old) that attend are passionate, dedicated, kind and talented. There are even rumours of a Bradfield basketball team on the horizon, so watch this space for more updates. If you know somebody in the age range that likes to shoot hoops, please tell them about the Club.
Football
The sports hall is a great space for five aside football matches and we have all the infrastructure to ensure a fun, competitive game. We welcome five a side clubs and one-off match sessions.
We have also partnered up with Millwall Football Club to deliver weekly football classes. This is a great opportunity for children (aged 5 to 11) to be introduced to football as the sessions are friendly, fun and delivered by professionals from Millwall.
Since the classes started, attendance has grown rapidly and feedback from the parents has been amazing. A big thank you to Millwall for allowing so many young people from Peckham the opportunity to have weekly training.
