Brian McGinley, South Ayrshire Council's Portfolio Holder for Economic Development, Tourism and Leisure, said, the annual programme remained a popular choice, "We're committed to giving children and young people as many opportunities as possible to lead active and healthy lifestyles and our Easter programme aims to offer something for everyone.
"With a wide-range of sports available to choose from, we also have a number of family events which make good use of our centres, with many of the events either free or available at minimal cost.
"Our staff will be working hard in the coming weeks to make sure this year's Easter break is a memorable experience and I'm sure the 2018 programme will be a big hit with all those who sign up to take part."
