Welcome to coaching at Edinburgh Leisure
We are now open!
We are delighted to welcome you back through our doors and to get back to helping Edinburgh keep active and well - always. We're very grateful for all the support we have received throughout lockdown and can’t wait to see you again soon in our venues.
Everything you need to know about our classes
On our class timetable you can check spaces, request to book a space, or if the class is full you can 'Note interest' in a class like it. Here's how:
- Check which class would be right for you or your child using the 'our classes' button below.
- Check where and when your class will be on when we reopen and whether it has spaces using the 'Class timetable and availability' button below.
- If there are spaces, you can complete a 'Booking Request Form'. Your space is not guaranteed at his stage. We will check and get back to you to confirm we have held a space and what the next steps are. Your space is guaranteed once we have your Direct Debit instruction and we have emailed confirmation to you. We will not collect any Direct Debits until we can run our classes. Normally we collect Direct Debits on or around the 1st of each month. The monthly amount is calculated over 11 months with no Direct Debit being collected in July of each year.
Please bear with us we may take longer than usual to get back to you at this time.
Coaching safety measures
As with all our other activities in our venues, we've introduced a number of measures to ensure everyone's safety. We'll continue to review these measures over the coming months as the environment and guidelines from the Scottish Government and national sports governing bodies change.
It is very important that you read our safety guidelines below before attending any class. These include where to drop off and pick up children at each of our venues and much more essential information to help everyone have an enjoyable and safe Edinburgh Leisure experience.
Our sports classes
