Active After School

Ashgrove is one of many YMCA OSHC services who participate in the Active After School Communities project implemented by the Australian Sports Commission.  The Active After School project gives services the opportunity to contract outside providers to deliver instruction to the children encouraging them to participate in physically active games and sports.  Ashgrove OSHC generally integrates two Active After School sessions into the weekly program.
