COMMUNITY GAMES DAY

COMMUNITY GAMES DAY

End the year the right way - together.

We’re bringing families, people with disability, young people and adults from across the community together for one big end-of-year celebration. A full day of sport, fitness challenges, team activities, dance and laughter at Grey Gums Oval. Every participant is placed into a group with others their own age, and together they compete, cheer each other on and finish the year as a team.

This day is about more than sport. It’s about belonging, pushing yourself, having fun and feeling part of something bigger. All abilities welcome, with adaptive sports and adaptive testing built into every experience. From the opening warm-up to the awards ceremony, Santa gifts and final send-off — every moment is designed for our community.

What’s on the day:

Sports — competitive team games in a 10v10 format with results tracked across the day.

Fitness Testing — each participant gets a personal scorecard covering speed, agility, push ups, plank and broad jump, with adaptive options available.

Challenges — relays and obstacle courses adjusted for each age group.

Activities — team puzzles, games and hands-on activities for every group.

Cheer and Dance Off — groups create and rehearse their own chant and routine, then perform live after lunch in front of everyone.

Rest & Sensory — a calm space with water, snacks, sensory-friendly equipment and first aid on standby throughout the day.

Local schools, disability service providers, sporting clubs and community organisations will also be on-site throughout the day to connect with families.
