"It's getting them off screens, into outdoor activity in a social environment, introducing them to a sport they may never ever try otherwise, which comes with a whole list of benefits." The school holiday programs cater for children from Kindergarten to Year 6. "I've always been very passionate about health and wellness, particularly when it comes to families," Mr Sturgess said.
