What’s the purpose of our multi sports camp?

The purpose our multi sports camp is to enable children to participate in a safe and inclusive health and fitness related experience during school holidays. On top of this, we want to give children, who love a range of sports, what they want. That is, to remain fit and active with like-minded people during school holidays. Further to this, we seek to give parents school holiday options so you can get on with your regular schedule during school holidays.

What happens at multi sport camp?

1.Players placed into teams

The multi sports camps we offer are day camps with no overnight stay. Think of multi sport camp as a typical day at school. The coaching team greets players and parents during the morning drop off. Based on information provided by parents and our internal procedures, we place children into groups based on age and ability. Where possible, children are grouped with friends and siblings.

2. Implementation of multi sports program

The coaching program is implemented in a way where children rotate through a variety of team sports. Meal and drink breaks are afforded to all players like they would receive during a school day. For instance, players get a recess and lunch break at multi sport camp.

3. Player recognition

At the end of each day of camp coaches issue awards to high performing players.
