Keep fit indoors over winter

Here’s an idea for blowing the winter blues away –  grab your neighbours/friends/colleagues and join a sports league.

A new round of sports leagues is about to kick off at QEYC, ASB Arena, and the new Indoor Sports Pavilion alongside ASB Arena. All sports leagues are played after traditional work hours, unless otherwise stated.

Meet new cool people like you

Leagues starting in August at QEYC and ASB Arena are: Monday Fastnet (starting August 7, and spanning 11 weeks, at QEYC), Tuesday netball (starting August 1, 10 weeks, at ASB Arena), Wednesday football, (starting August 2, 8 weeks, also at ASB Arena).

August will see the start of five leagues at the dynamic Indoor Sports Pavilion, which features netted courts and a large social area (including bar). These leagues are: Tuesday netball (starting August 1, 12 weeks) Wednesday football (starting August 2, 11 weeks), Wednesday morning netball (also starting August 2, 12 weeks), Thursday Dodgeball (starting August 3, 12 weeks), and Friday Floorball (starting August 4 and ongoing).

July 31 will see the start of Monday morning netball at the QEYC, and Monday netball at the ASB Arena.

Family and friendly fun

The Indoor Sports Pavilion, which opened this winter, is proving popular. It boasts a family-friendly environment that includes a large social mingling area with table tennis and pool tables. It’s not only being used for sports leagues, but also as a venue for sporty birthday parties and corporate team- building events.
