If you are looking for something to keep your tweens and teens busy during the school holidays, Cranbourne Indoor Sports has you covered.
Keeping older kids occupied over the long summer holidays is a challenge that managing director Jannette Dunlop, a mother of three boys, knows all too well.
“I know with my boys, from about 10-years-old they didn’t want to go to some of the (school holiday) programs because it was too boring, but they are too young to stay at home.”
Jannette’s solution to this age-old problem is Cranbourne Indoor Sport’s School Holiday program, which is sure to be a lifesaver for both bored kids and busy parents.
This December, for three days a week, the centre will host programs for children aged 10-15, from 9am to 3pm, for just $20 per child.
Coaches will run a variety of sports including basketball, cricket, soccer, dodgeball and hockey, and children will also be able to chill out in the lounge and watch sport on the big screen.
All activities will be fully supervised and an onsite canteen will have some food options for purchase.
“It will be very team based but there will be a lot of free time as well,” Janette said.
“What we are focusing on is not only sports, but playing as a team. You might come in and not know anybody but that’s OK because you’ll get to know the other kids on the team and then have a break with them.”
The centre is easily accessible by public transport and will be open before 9am, so prior drop-offs can be made by arrangement.
Places will be limited to 60 children per day – register your interest now by calling Cranbourne Indoor Sports on 5996 5411 or sending an inquiry through www.cranbourneindoorsports.com.au
