Victoria University’s (VU) school holiday sport program kicked off on Monday, January 13 with dozens of kids from across the western suburbs and beyond taking part.
Held at the sport and swimming centre at the VU’s Foostcray Park campus, the school holiday program began with a multi-sport session featuring basketball as well as swimming and an inflatable obstacle course.
Open to children from ages five to 12, the program will also feature sports and activities such as AFL, soccer and dance during its two week duration.
Program supervisor Amy Wood said kids love it.
“It gets them out of the house and opens them up to a range of sports to have a go at as well as making new friends,” she said, adding that mums and dads benefited too.
“It’s giving kids something to do over the holidays while parents are working takes some pressure of them as well.”
The program is fully supervised by trained and accredited coaches, with a maximum capacity of 45 kids per day.
