Good Times Expected at Baby Wombats Camp

Winter school holidays are almost upon us, which means the annual Baby Wombats camp is nearing. The Baby Wombats are put through intensive training mixed in with some fun with the aim to not only develop the Baby Wombats’ skills, but also team work and comraderie.

The format of the camp has changed drastically this year, due to the number of injuries and hospitalisations last year. Skills development will take a much less physical approach this year, instead focussing on the non-contact activities that were more successful last year.

“I’ll be taking a back seat this year.” says Australian Wombat Thommo. “Medical staff have said concussion can affect the development of children and we had a number of incidents last year while not intentional, are probably best to avoid this year.”

Baby Wombats are selected through the Wombats Talented Sports Program. Kids of all ages are encouraged to enrol in the Talented Sports Program, particularly kids of over competitive parents. For more information, contact staff at the Wombats Community Program.
