YOUNGSTERS at a Teesside sports club are trying out an unusual winter sport.

Indoor curling, with plastic stones and pushers, is just one of the new sports on offer for youngsters at Redcar Sportsability Club.

A grant of £863 from West Redcar Single Regeneration Budget's Community Chest has paid for indoor athletics equipment.

The club bought foam javelins, discuses, and high jump and long jump equipment.

The club meets at Redcar Leisure Centre and has 37 special needs youngsters as members. Co-ordinator Neil Young said: "We did not have enough equipment. We have concentrated on buying new equipment, especially for the less able."
