The fabulous Sunshine Coast has pulled out all the stops this weekend. You’ll find a bundle of fun in store for kids and families.
Want to know what’s happening for Sunshine Coast kids and families? Here are some of our favourite activities and events on the Sunshine Coast from Friday, May 6 to Sunday, May 8. Don’t forget Mother’s Day on Sunday!
Get active
Do you need to burn off some of that Easter chocolate? Now that we are firmly into autumn, there are plenty of sports in store this weekend for the little ones. Brazilian Soccer Skills has arrived at Aura and is launching its program at Nirimba State Primary School. Head along to the free tryout day on Monday, May 9, with sessions for five—to eight-year-olds and nine—to 12-year-olds.
Or why not pick up a paddle and bounce on into a game of table tennis? Spinneroos in Maroochydore is now running a great after-school program to give kids a fun first experience with table tennis. Designed for kids aged five to 12 years, there will be plenty of fun games — both on and off the table.
If you’ve got a little one that loves to tumble, the weekly Toddler Tumble and Dance Playgroup at Ausfunk Cheer & Dance, Marcoola, is just for them. The 45-minute sessions are an opportunity for your child to participate in relaxed, guided tumble and dance activities. It’s a fantastic space for them to burn some energy and learn new skills in a safe environment.
