New year, new offers at the Beacon.
Find a new passion and kickstart a healthy new you this January. Each weekday we will be hosting drop-in sessions featuring a different sport every day.
Some popular favourites as well as a brand-new offering will be available for you to come in and enjoy.
šø Badminton
Give your friend a run around on the badminton court.
š¾ Pickleball
The newly popular pickleball is ideal for two or four players.
Similar to tennis, pickleball uses short-handled bats to hit a perforated plastic ball over a net.
š Basketball
Shoot some hoops on our half court. Can be played on your own or with friends.
š Table Tennis
Have a fast-paced rally on the table tennis tables. Ideal for all ages.
ā½ļø Footy Tennis
Test out your touch and control against your opponent in our brand-new sport of footy tennis.
Two opposing teams made of one, two or three players hit a football over a low netĀ to try and score a point.
