We have a few Programmes running this term.
· Tricking: a movement sport that blends kicks, flips and spins from martial arts, gymnastics, and breakdancing. There's no grading; tamariki build skills at their own pace and put them together into their own style.
· Pickleball Foundation for Kids: pickleball is a fast, easy-to-learn racquet sport played on a small court with a paddle and a light plastic ball. It's one of the fastest-growing sports in the world and rallies start from day one, so tamariki are playing properly within their first session.
· Open Play Sessions a safe indoor space for our youngest tamariki to move, climb and play, with soft equipment set out and caregivers staying alongside. Ideal for pre-schoolers and for younger siblings around school pick-up.
Families can get in touch on 07 885 1059 or sportsandevents@southwaikato.govt.nz to register.
We also have a survey running in which anyone can have their say on future programmes or activities they would like to see. The survey is still running and available at this website: Help shape activities at the Sport and Events Centre - South Waikato District Council
