It was the first of four Have a Go Days for children in years 3 and 4.
More than 1000 children from 20 different schools are expected to be involved over the four days.
They will be introduced to rugby, basketball, netball, football, hockey and gymnastics.
The aim is to help develop the children's fundamental skills, while also introducing them to various sports they can pursue if they enjoy them.
