About the multi-sport program

Activities

By the end of the week your kids will have a new spring in their step!

Your kids will:

  • learn how to play team-sports such as:
    • dodge-ball
    • futsal
    • handball
    • netball
    • soccer
    • basketball
  • improve their general fitness and confidence.
