Hobsons Bay council said community sports clubs across the municipality will roll out the welcome mat for a special open day this month.
The open day, to be held from 10am-2pm on Saturday, September 16, will see clubs across a range of sports welcome visitors for a free come-and-try day, and to show them around their facilities.
Council said the day aims to get more people involved in a community sports club, whether as a player, volunteer or a supporter.
For anyone interested in trying out a new sport or becoming involved in a club near them, council said this is perfect for them.
Involved in the open day are clubs from cricket, baseball, athletics, soccer, hockey and yachting.
Hobsons Bay mayor Tony Briffa said the open day is a great chance for anyone thinking of giving a new sport a try to go out and meet the people who run the club and see what it’s all about.
“One of the priorities of my mayoral program is to help community groups and organisations promote the incredible work I know they do,” she said.
“Community sports clubs are an integral part of life in Hobsons Bay.
“Not only do they help keep us fit and active, they’re fantastic hubs that connect people socially and provide a safe and welcoming space for everyone of all diversities and interests.”
