Please can you confirm that there are netball nets and netballs to go with the floor markings?
Thanks you!
Dear Helen
Yes we have netball nets and we are waiting for new netball balls to arrive but we do have other balls that are suitable short term.
Thank you
Looking forward to hearing more about beginners rock climbing courses for kids! I have some climbers who would be very interested.
Thanks!
Dear Raye – for the time being instruction will be given on arrival at the Arena so bring the family and enjoy the climb. Please note the minimum age to use the climbing wall is 5 years.
So there is going to be a volleyball net as well ?
Yes there is going to be volleyball net etc. Volleyball court markings and floor supports have now been installed for the posts and net that was not in the original building design and build. Both the IRC & HSC Arenas now have the appropriate floor sockets installed so we can now offer volleyball as a activity.
