Team Handball  (also known as Olympic or European Handball) is a dynamic sport that first featured in the Olympics in 1936.  With 27 Million registered players, it has professional leagues in various European countries and is hugely popular in many Asian countries.  Australia has been represented at the Sydney 2000 games and will again in Brisbane 2032 as host nation.

The sport is played indoors on a large court 40 x 20m with 6 court players and a goalkeeper.  Players can dribble, pass and use 3 steps to move the ball into a position where a player can shoot a goal. Handball Demands great footwork, hand/eye coordination, jumping power, and fitness.

​

Our camp will give you a comprehensive introduction to this exciting Olympic Sport where the skills used in water polo, touch football, soccer, and basketball collide!

A new sport to the Olympic program, 3on3 was introduced at Tokyo 2021.  A super fast, powerful and dynamic version of traditional basketball played on a half-court.

​

So how does this version differ from the basketball game we already know?

​

• 3 players and 1 sub per team

• 10-minute game, first to 21.

• If neither team makes 21, then the leading team wins

​

As for scoring, shots outside of the arc are worth 2 points, and shots inside the arc are 1 point.  Players must clear the ball beyond the arc on defensive rebounds, and possession changes after every goal.  One other key difference is the shot clock, which is just 12 seconds.

Volleyball has been part of the Summer Olympic program  for both men and women since 1964.  It's history can be traced back to the 1924 Summer Olympics in Paris where volleyball was played as part of an American sports demonstration event.  

​

Volleyball is a team sport in which 2 teams of 6 players are separated by a net.  Each team tries to score a point by grounding a ball on the other teams's court.  To keep the ball in play , players use their hands to "dig", "set" and "spike " the ball.  An over arm serve from the attacking teams baseline is used to propel the ball into play on the opponents side of the net.

​

Elite volleyball players have fantastic hand-eye cordination, brillaint reflexes and power in their lower and upper body.

HOCKEY

Field hockey was introduced at the 1908 London Olympics but at that stage, it was just men competing.  It wasn't until 1980 that women were permitted to play at this level.

In hockey, teams manoeuvre a hockey ball using their hockey stick between players to score a goal.  Each team has 11 players on the field. Field Hockey involves high levels of fitness, hand/eye coordination, agility and power.

Our EMpowerME Camp will help you learn the rules and practise the skills involved to be able to play a game!

Mountain Biking originated in the USA during the 1970's with people who loved the outdoors and decided to modify their bikes to be able to handle the off-road conditions.    Specialised bikes were subsequently created and by the 1990's mountain biking had become a globally recognised outdoor sport.

​

Mountain Bike - Cross Country was adopted as an official Olympic Sport at the Atlanta games 1996.  Cross-country races are held on undulating circuits and courses to test the skills of riders whilst also making for great spectator entertainments.
