Social Sports Come & Try Days Bring Community Kids Together for Fun, Fitness, and Friendship
DUNGOG — The local sports fields have been buzzing with energy as children aged 6 to 13 dive headfirst into the Social Sports Come & Try program. Designed to foster a love for physical activity and community connection, the multi-sport initiative has proven to be a resounding hit with local families.
The program kicked off with an incredible opening week, drawing over 50 children who eagerly came down to Bennett Park to try their hand at Touch Footy, Soccer, and Ultimate Frisbee. Young participants spent action-packed rotations building new skills, staying active, and making lasting friendships.
While unpredictable weather forced a temporary setback in week two with a necessary cancellation, the community's enthusiasm couldn't be dampened.
The program bounced back with incredible momentum in week three, welcoming over 40 kids back to the pitch. Participants enjoyed another fantastic afternoon of teamwork, laughter, and high-energy sports.
Organized by It Takes A Community, these sessions highlight the power of grassroots sports in bringing people together. Program coordinators expressed their gratitude to the wonderful volunteers and enthusiastic families who continue to make the initiative possible.
With more weeks ahead, the Come & Try days are continuing to fuel a lifelong love for sport and community spirit right here in Dungog!
