Summer Sports Incursions in Melbourne: Active Programs for Schools & Vacation Care 2026/27
As Melbourne moves into spring and summer, it’s the perfect time for schools, OSHC providers, vacation care programs and community organisations to get children outside, active and trying something new.
Whether you’re planning an end-of-year activity, Term 4 sports program, January vacation care calendar or a special sports day, Fit For Kids Co. brings fun, professionally delivered sports programs directly to your venue.
With a growing range of sports available, we can create anything from a one-hour incursion through to a full day of sporting activities.
Why Sport Works So Well in Spring & Summer
The warmer months open up more opportunities to make use of school ovals, courts, playgrounds and outdoor spaces.
For children, it’s also a great opportunity to:
-
- Try a sport they may never have played before
-
- Develop fundamental movement and coordination skills
-
- Build confidence through physical activity
-
- Socialise and work with different children
-
- Spend more time being active and away from screens
-
- Discover a sport they may want to continue playing
Most importantly, our programs are designed to make sport fun and accessible, regardless of a child’s previous experience.
Summer Sports Incursions in Melbourne
Fit For Kids Co. offers a wide range of sports that can be adapted to different ages, group sizes, spaces and program formats.
MyGolf
Golf might not be the first sport that comes to mind when planning a school or vacation care program and that’s exactly what makes it such a great option.
As an official MyGolf provider, Fit For Kids Co. can introduce children to golf through modified equipment, games and challenges designed specifically for juniors.
MyGolf can be delivered on school ovals, synthetic areas and other suitable spaces, with equipment provided.
It’s a fantastic option for schools looking to give students an experience that is a little different from their regular sporting activities.
Tennis Hot Shots
Summer in Melbourne means tennis.
With the Australian summer of tennis approaching, Term 4 and the January holiday period are ideal times to introduce children to the sport.
Our Tennis Hot Shots sessions use modified equipment to make tennis accessible for junior players, with activities focusing on movement, racquet skills, rallying and plenty of games.
Programs can be adapted to existing tennis courts or suitable school and community spaces.
Pickleball
Looking for something different?
Pickleball has become one of our most popular options for holiday and group programs.
Combining elements of tennis, badminton and table tennis, the sport is quick to learn and allows children to start playing games relatively quickly.
That makes it particularly suited to vacation care, OSHC and one-off school incursions where you want children engaged from the beginning.
Shuttle Smash Badminton
Not every Melbourne summer day is made for being outside!
Shuttle Smash provides schools and organisations with an excellent indoor option for sports halls and gymnasiums.
As an official Badminton Australia program, Shuttle Smash introduces children to badminton through modified activities, racquet skills, movement and games.
It can work particularly well as part of a summer program where having an indoor option provides greater flexibility.
Soccer, Basketball & Netball
Sometimes the classics are exactly what children want.
Our Soccer-Fit, Basketball-Fit and Netball-Fit programs combine skill development with challenges, games and modified match play.
Sessions can be delivered as standalone incursions or combined as part of a multi-sport day.
Table Tennis
Small space? No problem.
Table tennis can provide another engaging option for schools and organisations looking to offer children something different.
Our Ping.Pong.Play program introduces students to the fundamentals of table tennis in a fun and accessible format and can be incorporated into broader multi-sport programming.
End-of-Year School Sports Activities
The final weeks of Term 4 can be challenging for schools.
The weather is warmer, students are excited about the holidays and schools are often looking for activities that are structured but still feel like an end-of-year celebration.
A sports incursion can be used for:
-
- End-of-year celebration days
-
- Year-level activity days
-
- Sports days
-
- Wellbeing days
-
- House activities
-
- PE enrichment
-
- Reward activities
-
- Transition programs
Rather than transporting students off campus, our coaches can come to your school with the equipment needed to deliver the activities.
Programs can also be tailored around the number of students, available facilities and time you have available.
Summer Vacation Care & OSHC Incursions
Planning a December or January vacation care program?
Fit For Kids Co. works with OSHC providers, councils and community organisations to bring structured sports activities directly to children during the school holidays.
Incursions can be delivered as individual sports or as a multi-sport experience, giving children the chance to rotate through several different activities.
Depending on your venue and group, this could include a combination of:
Tennis + Pickleball + Badminton
or
Golf + Soccer + Basketball
or a completely customised program.
We bring the coaching expertise and sporting equipment, helping make the activity simple for coordinators to incorporate into their holiday calendar.
Before & After School Sport for Term 4 and Term 1
Spring is also an ideal time for schools to introduce a new before-school or after-school sports program.
Fit For Kids Co. can deliver weekly programs across the term, including:
Tennis Hot Shots, MyGolf, Shuttle Smash Badminton, Pickleball, Basketball, Soccer, Netball, Table Tennis, Cricket and Athletics/Run Club.
Programs can provide students with the opportunity to explore a sport outside traditional PE while creating another avenue for children to be active within their school community.
Schools can also trial a new sport before deciding whether to introduce it as an ongoing program.
We Bring Sport to You
One of the biggest advantages of a Fit For Kids Co. incursion is flexibility.
We work with:
-
- Primary schools
-
- Independent and government schools
-
- OSHC and vacation care providers
-
- Councils
-
- Community organisations
-
- Early learning settings
-
- Holiday programs
Programs can be tailored according to your group size, age range, available space and objectives.
From a small group trying golf for the first time to a large sports day involving multiple groups and activities, we can work with you to develop a suitable format.
