CHILDREN, and adults with special needs, were treated to a training session with a difference on Saltburn beach.

Team GB volleyball players Chris Gregory and Jake Sheaf were down on the sand joining in with teams training ahead of Saturday's Whitby Seafoods Classic Beach Volleyball Tournament.

Children and youngsters were taking part, along with adults with special needs from Botton Village, near Danby, on the North York Moors.

The company is sponsoring the pair in their Olympic qualifying event, as well as local team the North Riding Eagles, and hosted the one-day Beach Volleyball open on the sands at Whitby on Saturday, with training at Saltburn the night before.

Volleyball sessions are run regularly by Eagles' coach, Anthony Laffan.
