UQ Sport Fun and Smash Tennis Party
Make your child’s next birthday a huge success. Sit back and relax as they set up, host and clean up the event, including free party bags for each guest, and a junior tennis racquet for the birthday boy or girl.
Athletic Centre
Dash to their Athletic Centre to coach your child to the top of their game on UQ Sport’s Olympic-standard track:
- Their term and holiday programs will have kids aged 6-16 years finding their sole mate, making buddies for life in a range of activities including high jump, long jump, sprints, mid- and long-distance running, shot put, discus and hurdles.
- If your little champion is strides ahead of the rest, their Elite Junior Development Squad for 12-17 year olds trains at a more technical level, for those aiming for gold.
