Introducing new sports to Warruwi youth

11 October 2019

The West Arnhem Regional Council Youth, Sport and Recreation program in Warruwi recently had a visit from Megan of Gymnastics NT who ran gymnastics workshops within the community. 
The children were shown different styles of gymnastics with many off them already being experts themselves when it comes to somersaults, backflips and front flips.
Megan did an outstanding job of planning her lessons around the age groups as well as creating other alternative circuits to cater for the youth at the hall and with the school. 
Softball NT also arrived in community to run activities with the school and the Youth, Sport and Recreation team. 
This is a reasonably new sport to the youth in Warruwi and the instructor Gemma did an amazing job of running skills and drills sessions and setting up games for the youth. 
This continued for several weeks’ and sparked and interest with the young participants.
