Inspiring Active Adventures for Kids
Thrive sports was founded by a trio of dedicated and qualified PDHPE teachers, sharing a profound passion for sports and skill development in young people. Our core expertise lies in the meticulous planning and execution of holiday sports camps. Our overarching mission is to provide a safe, dynamic and enriching school holiday experience that not only nurtures skill enhancement but also cultivates leadership qualities, encourages teamwork, and fosters active engagement through a variety of inclusive developmental games.
In pursuit of this goal, we are driven by the aspiration to curtail excessive screen time among young people. We firmly believe that by instilling fundamental movement skills during our camps, participants can gain a solid foundation applicable to any sporting endeavor they choose to pursue. Our commitment to promoting physical activity as a means of personal growth sets us apart as we strive to empower the next generation with lifelong skills and values.

What Makes Us Stand Out
Our holiday sports events are not just about exercise; they are about holistic child growth. We recognise the uniqueness of each child and understand they have various interests and skill levels. Our emphasis on inclusivity ensures that every child, regardless of their background or abilities, feels valued and empowered. We are committed to providing a safe, welcoming, and fun-filled environment where kids can stay active during school holidays. Our belief in the power of sports extending beyond physical fitness to encompass character development, leadership, resilience, and sportsmanship.
Prioritising Safety
Our team of qualified coaches are certified in first aid as safety is paramount in our programs. We provide a structured and supervised environment, allowing children to explore their potential so parents can rest assured that their child's well-being is our top priority.

We invite you to become a part of our mission to inspire active holidays for kids. Together, we can make a lasting impact on the lives of children in our community. Whether your child is an aspiring athlete or simply looking to have fun and build friendships, our programs offer something for everyone.
