BACK to school this week doesn’t just mean a new school year and new teachers and classmates – it also means starting to think of the new sporting season.
With a new year comes a new chance to take on a sport and enjoy those times after school when you are not in the classroom.
Sport is an excellent chance to let off a bit of steam, get away from the television, iPod or game machines and get out into the great ideas.
And in these days when we are becoming more sedentary it is a chance to run around and get fit.
Sport also gives kids a chance to learn self discipline and teamwork and work on their social skills. It’s also a chance to find friends with similar interest and widen their circle of friends.
And more than that, it’s fun.
But the big questions are what sport should your children play and what sports are out there?
The answer to question one can be as easy as one they are interested in and always wanted to try.
And the answer to the second question is plenty.
Soccer, netball, AFL, rugby league, rugby union, bowls, touch footy and dance – all sports and activities are available in our local area.
Why not join Sunshine Beach Sharks Soccer Club, Noosa District Junior Rugby League, Eumundi Dragons Junior Rugby Union Club, Noosa Tigers or the myriad of other amazing sporting bodies around the area.
And remember it’s not just about kids either. Fitness is for all and there is nothing better than trying something new or going back to something you love.
