The team at Sporting Minds grew up playing competitive sport and we believe that it is essential for everyone, regardless of their skill level, to discover individual strengths and experience success through sport. Every coach’s pep talk, buzzer-beater, specky, nutmeg, chase down tackle, high five, team win, tough loss, team chant, frozen orange and early morning. These are the memories that have shaped us and something we try to instill in every child at Sporting Minds School Holiday Programs.
Our team is made up of qualified PE, Health and Psychology teachers. We are passionate about education, sport and wellbeing. We use physical activity in all of our programs to develop sport specific skills and fitness. All activities are carefully designed to enhance mental health, build confidence and develop the team skills and communication required to succeed in sport and life outside of school.
