Joining a sport or active recreation club is a great way to get fit and healthy while having fun and making new friends.
How can I find out about a club?
For more information about clubs in your local community contact the state sport or recreation organisation that oversees the sport or recreational activity that interests you.
Choosing a suitable club
There are many things to look for and consider when choosing a local sport and recreation club for your children.
- Is the club suitable?
- Is the club and its facilities safe?
- Does the club provide good service?
Use the Active Choices Parent and Carer Checklist to help ensure your children and other young people have the best possible experience when they are participating in sporting and recreation activities.
If a club does not get a tick in every box, this does not mean they are not a good club! This may present an opportunity for you to discuss with staff some of the ways the club may be able to improve its present facilities and services.
A checklist has also been developed for sport and recreation club.
