Clean Sport is a new sport that combines elements of play, athleticism, teamwork, racing and robot battles while also helping to clean the environment. Two teams of 7 players each ride solar-powered vacuum cleaners across a designated playing field, collecting garbage as they try to reach the opposite end of the field with their towels still around their waists. The team that gets all its members across first while collecting the most garbage by weight and volume is declared the winner.
Climate change and extreme weather events threaten the viability of much of Australian sport as it’s currently played, either in the back yard, at local grounds, or in professional tournaments. Football, cricket, tennis and more are struggling to adapt to, or prepare for, the impacts of climate change.
With more extreme heat, changes in rainfall and more intense storms, there are questions about just how far we can push players in elite and local sport. Questions also grow about whether the way some of our sport is played, or watched, is safe or sustainable.
Elite venues are improving resilience but local clubs and facilities, the lifeblood of Australian sport, are struggling. As the days over 35 degrees multiply, heat policies will be a matter of life or death as well as industrial relations. Sports may need to learn from policies evolving in outdoor industries.

This is a conference program for 200 to 250 men that involves bringing video games to life. This is a fun activity for ages 30 to 60 that allows them to plays games including Galaga, Pac Man, Bioshock, Tetris, and much more.

This Hunger Games inspired teen program allows 16 to 18 year olds to simulate being a tribute in the Hunger Games. Tributes will shoot arrows, perform a ropes coarse, solve a puzzle, get lost in a human maze, and survive paintballs to be the last tribute standing.
Table tennis, also known as ping pong, is a sport in which two or four players (dual) hit a lightweight ball back and forth across a table using a small paddle
Table Tennis- individual and dual sportskennethnoche
Table tennis (also known as ping-pong or whiff-whaff) is a racket sport derived from tennis but distinguished by its playing surface being atop a stationary table, rather than the court on which players stand. Either individually or in teams of two, players take alternating turns returning a light, hollow ball over the table's net onto the opposing half of the court using small rackets until they fail to do so, which results in a point for the opponent. Play is fast, requiring quick reaction and constant attention, and is characterized by an emphasis on spin relative to other ball sports, which can heavily affect the ball's trajectory.
Owed to its small minimum playing area, its ability to be played indoors in all climates, and relative accessibility of equipment, table tennis is enjoyed worldwide not just as a competitive sport, but as a common recreational pastime among players of all levels and ages.
