A-Star Sports. Sports coaching for children.

A-Star Sports is a fun-filled multi-sports experience for children aged 2-10 years. We offer inclusive, developmental multi-sports coaching in a positive environment that begins with an initial ABC-based programme (agility, balance and co-ordination) and develops into a core of ten sports – basketball, cricket, dodgeball, football, handball, hockey, rounders, rugby, tennis and volleyball. Our core curriculum is supplemented by a programme of activities following 'sport in the news' and sporting culture.

Classes are held on Friday afternoons in Kelsall Community Centre.

Badminton - Kelsall Badminton Society

There has been a social (not league) Badminton Club meeting in the Kelsall Community Centre on Tuesday evenings (8:00pm to 9:30pm) since 1995. Over the years the number of subscribing members has gradually reduced to around 10 at this time, and new blood is required for the winter season 2010/11. £2 per night for the 2010/11 season to cover hall hire charges - no membership fee. Any individuals interested in taking part should contact Sharon Harley on 01829-759362 or turn up on a Tuesday evening.

Golf - Kelsall Golf Society

Formed in 1978 and now in its thirty fourth year, the Society currently has 40 members, who play at a variety of venues from April to September each year. We play approximately eight games each season usually on a Friday, and in addition there are two matches played against local societies. The programme for 2012 will include games at Denbigh, Rhuddlan, High Legh, Wrexham, Frodsham, Crewe, Heswall and Market Drayton, when we compete for trophies generally presented by local businesses.

Indoor Bowling - Kelsall Indoor Bowling Club

The Club was set up in the 1990s, shortly after the Community Centre was opened, to give an opportunity for those who played outdoors during the summer months to continue indoors during the winter. Although it is a very different game and is played on mats it is nevertheless skilful and competitive but above all friendly and sociable. The club plays on Tuesday and Thursday afternoons each week from September to March. Several years ago the Club entered two teams in the Cheshire Villages Indoor Bowling Tournament, Kelsall Boothdale and Kelsall. Matches are played against teams ranging from Farndon in the west to Rixton, north east of Warrington, with many others in between. At the end of each season there is a play-off at the Northwich Memorial Hall between those teams that have won their individual groups and a general tournament for those players who have not been so successful. Kelsall team players have always featured in the general tournament - so far. Results and group tables can be found here. In February each year Bernard Dart and latterly Ken Evans organise an Invitation Charity Bowls Tournament that over the years has raised hundreds of pounds and not only attracts players from other local clubs but a wider audience from the village - and they get a good lunch into the bargain!

Karate - Williams Karate Academy

Tennis - Kelsall Tennis Club

Kelsall Tennis Club has three tennis courts located behind the Community Centre and a brand new clubhouse.

The club has two Ladies teams playing in both winter and summer leagues. Junior club night is well attended on a Friday evening and senior club night is on a Tuesday evening from 18.30. The season this year starts on Tuesday 12th April - all new players are most welcome.
