Esports gamers offered discounted leisure centre access

Members of a gaming community in South Wales are being offered discounted memberships for the region’s leisure centres.

A partnership deal between Esports Wales and Leisure Lifestyle – which operates 10 leisure facilities on behalf of Caerphilly County Borough Council (CCBC) – will see members of Caerphilly Esports Wales being offered the opportunity to sign up for a Leisure Lifestyle membership at a reduced corporate rate.

The collaboration has been set up to promote a balanced and healthy lifestyle for esports players, as part of the council’s wider commitment to promote and provide access to a balanced and healthy lifestyle for all.

The partnership was celebrated and highlighted during the National Fitness Day on 18 September, when Esports Wales will be joining Leisure Lifestyle at leisure centres, to engage with customers, provide activities and gameplay opportunities.

Councillor Chris Morgan, Caerphilly County Borough Council’s cabinet member for leisure, said: “This partnership not only recognises the growing importance of esports within our community but also encourages a balanced and active lifestyle for all.

“We believe that by providing Esports Wales members with access to our excellent facilities at a discounted rate, we are supporting both their physical and mental well-being.”
