Come Try Whitsunday Sports Expo

Next weekend, the 10th annual Whitsunday Sports Expo will transform the Whitsunday Sportspark, adjacent to the PCYC and new Club Whitsunday, into a vibrant activity hub, bringing together sports enthusiasts of all kinds. Attendees will have the chance to ‘come and try’ a number of activities and sign up for exciting seasons ahead.
This year's Expo is particularly special, marking its 10th anniversary and coinciding with the grand opening of the brand-new Club Whitsundays, which is set to become the premier social hub for local sports.
Unlike previous years, when the event was held inside the PCYC with static stalls, this year's Expo will take place outdoors on the fields, giving you the unique opportunity to try out your favourite sports in a dynamic, hands-on environment.
This year the Expo will be taking place from 3pm and will culminate in the grand opening of the brand-new netball courts by the Queensland Firebirds at 4:45pm.
Tim Oberg, president of the Sports Expo, explained his excitement for the changes made to the event:
“It is very different to last year, lots of changes, however, we are hopeful that the community will embrace it.
“The theme is much more around come try, it is to give everyone the opportunity to come and experience a sport, as well as discover new things they might love.”
The Expo welcomes all local sporting and activity providers, offering a diverse range of sports and activities available to try. From Ultimate Disc Frisbee and horse riding to soccer, basketball, football, and more, there will be something for everyone to discover and try.
