Spring School Holiday Sports Program Recap – Oct 2024

Week 1: Mon 30 Sept – Mega Mini Golf Fun  

It was an enjoyable bus ride out to Mega Mini Golf in Penrith, for a spooky 36 holes of putt putt. Everyone braved their way through the course (twice), with plenty of success in the hole-in-one department.   

Tues Oct 01 – Monster Sports Jam & Inflatable Obstacle Course  

The day was spent bounding and dodging our way through the Monster Sports Jam and Inflatable Obstacle Course at the Entertainment Quarter, Moore Park. Some chose the enjoyable leisurely path through while others tested their speed on the course, aiming for PBs.   

Wed Oct 02 – Bounce Inc Cromer & Multi-sport   

The local Bounce Inc Centre continues to be a crowd favourite. Everyone loves to defy gravity, and make sure no trampoline went un-jumped. Many participants took up the opportunity to try the rock climbing walls or high-ropes course. Some tested and overcame their fear of heights – reflecting their resilience.    

Thurs Oct 03 – Kayak, Sports and MTB Riding / Off-road Race Running  

We kicked off the morning with kayaking at Middle Creek Reserve, Narrabeen Lake. Participants paddled along in either a single kayak independently or in a double kayak assisted by a coach. Everyone took in the views and even saw some ‘flying fish’. Later, we enjoyed some leisurely bike riding, exploring fire trails and going ‘off-road’ with the bikes and race runners!   

Fri Oct 04 – Junior Bounce Inc Cromer  

With our coaches helping to create a safe and inclusive environment at the Bounce Inc Centre at Cromer, our junior crew were able to enjoy the pure joy and freedom that such a venue provides! Participants were able to explore their physical capabilities and soar to new heights (literally)!  

Week 2: Tues Oct 08 – Junior Allambie Multi-sports Day  

Our junior crew met at CPA Allambie Centre for a day of fun sports and activities. Learning the fundamental skills of their chosen sports and preset activities. A huge hit, as always, was the Ninja Warrior course and bike riding.   

Wed Oct 09 – Zone Bowling & Arcade Day   

The thrill of knocking down pins and conquering arcade games with mates was felt at Zone Dee Why. Every spare, strike, high score, and win (big or little) was celebrated with enthusiasm by all. Friendly competition was at an all-time high, with lots of laughter and cheering all day.   

Thurs Oct 10 – Treetops Adventure & Networld  

This day was an adventure for those seeking a challenge. Treetops Adventure High Ropes Course at Central Coast provided a platform to test courage and coordination all in one. Participants navigated through elevated obstacles and balanced on ropes high above the ground. The sense of achievement and the supportive cheers from peers and coaches made this adventure truly special.  

Networld was a more relaxed adventure, with everyone enjoying their time bouncing, jumping and rolling all whilst suspended above the ground and amongst the trees – a spectacular experience.   

Fri Oct 11 – Junior Kayak Experience  

The School Holiday Program concluded with a Junior Kayak Experience, allowing the youngest participants to dip their paddles into the world of water sports at Narrabeen Lake. Guided by experienced instructors, they learned the basics of kayaking in a safe and encouraging environment. This activity not only introduced them to a new hobby but also fostered a love for outdoor adventures.
