Throughout the camp, school facilities will be accessible, including: hall with toilets, large grass oval, futsal field, basketball and netball courts, and an undercover area providing shade and protection against extreme weather conditions (heat, rain).

• Bar Beach Empire Park

Activate Sports host specialised cricket camps in Newcastle at Empire Park, Bar Beach. The facilities include three nets and two large ovals. The ground has a covered grand stand which is used for break times. With the generosity of Newcastle City Cricket Club, Activate Sports cricket camps also include the use of a bowling machine for one-on-one coaching. The camps include specific coaching provided by former and current first grade cricketers and level one coaches. Each child is given individual coaching advice throughout the camps that focuses on batting, bowling and fielding.

Drop-off and pick-up will take place from the grandstand at Empire Park.

DROP-OFF AND REGISTRATION

Arrival time from 8.30 to 9 am.

Upon arrival, children will be signed in by parents and carers and greeted by our qualified staff.

Once children have been introduced to the coaches and become familiar with their surroundings, they will be given the opportunity to participate in fun activities and modified games almost immediately.

INTRODUCTION: SAFETY AND PRESENTATION OF PROGRAM

The program begins at 9 am.

All campers assemble as coaches clearly explain the lay out of the day and discuss safety procedures such as toilet locations, first aid, hydration, sun safety and most importantly the expected values coaches look for, such as sportsmanship and encouragement.

MULTI-SPORT CAMP STRUCTURE

Once grouped, children participate in a range of modified sports for 25 minute rotations.

Sports include: continuous cricket, basketball, soccer, throwing and catching games and many more!

At the end of each day, all groups reassemble and a 'sportsmanship' award is handed out to one child from each group by their group coach. The winners of the 'sportsmanship' award go in the draw to win 1 x free admission to Activate Sports following camp (drawn on the final day).

On top of the awards and give aways, we will also provide a sausage sizzle lunch on the final day of camp!

PICK-UP TIME

The program finishes at 3 pm.

After handing out awards, coaches will greet parents and carers and oversee the collection of all children.

Note: coaching finishes promptly at 3 pm, however, coaches will provide additional care until all children are collected (see Terms and Conditions).
