Summer sports fun on offer at ‘Come-N-Try’ afternoon

Noosa Council is excited to announce its latest sports Come-N-Try afternoon, designed to give primary school aged children a taste of the many different sports available to take part in locally.

This engaging and fun-filled afternoon is on Tuesday 5 September, from 3.30pm to 5.30pm at Noosa District Sports Complex.

The Come-N-Try afternoon aims to provide local children with an opportunity to explore various sports and forge connections with community sports clubs.

Brad Chalmers, Council’s Community Facilities Manager, said the event is a fantastic way for children in Noosa to experience new sports in a non-competitive environment, under the guidance of local coaches.

“These afternoons offer invaluable benefits for Noosa’s youth,” Mr Chalmers said.

“By engaging in a range of different sport activities, children can discover their passion while having fun. We prioritise creating a healthy and inclusive space, offering the kids a healthy snack before commencing the activities,” said Mr Chalmers.

Continuing its tradition of bringing the Noosa community together, the Come-N-Try afternoon will feature a diverse range of local clubs offering an opportunity for children to join clubs for the upcoming summer season.

Sports include athletics, cricket, tennis, lawn bowls, touch football and softball.

Richard Wakeham, President of Noosa Softball, emphasised the importance of events like these for smaller sports such as softball, which have been significantly impacted by declining participation rates.

“The Come-N-Try afternoon serves as an ideal platform to reintroduce and showcase softball to locals,” Mr Wakeham said.

Registration is essential for this event. To secure a spot visit the Eventbrite link provided on the Noosa Council website at noosa.qld.gov.au/comeandtrysports .
