Following a successful launch in Term 1, Central Coast Council’s popular Mumma Ball program will return for Term 2, offering mothers a combination of fitness, fun and community.
The free basketball program will be held at Niagara Park Stadium and Lake Haven Recreation Centre.
Council Director Community and Recreation Services Melanie Smith said the Mumma Ball program provided a supportive pathway for mothers to return to sport.
“Mumma Ball creates a truly welcoming space for mums to rediscover their passion for sport, focusing on building both skills and confidence in a relaxed and judgement-free environment,” she said.
“Participants will not only refine their basketball skills through engaging drills and friendly games, but also carve out valuable ‘me time’ to prioritise their wellbeing.
“Having seen the positive impact of this program in Term 1, we’re excited to offer it again in Term 2, with the aim of empowering even more mums to potentially join local teams and foster a lasting connection with physical activity.”
The Mumma Ball program will be held at: Niagara Park Stadium from 10.30am-11.30am on Mondays from April 28 to June 2 (six-week program); and Lake Haven Recreation Centre from 9.30am-10.30am on Tuesdays from May 6 to June 24 (eight-week program).
Spaces are limited to 20 participants per venue.
The Term 2 program is open to new participants who have not previously joined Girls in the Game basketball programs.
Participants will also receive a complimentary basketball and t-shirt.
Mumma Ball is one of five initiatives within Council’s Girls in the Game program, funded by the Australian Government’s Play Our Way program.
Other initiatives include: Girls Get Active Days; Girls Futsal Program; Girls Skate Program; and Adult Learn to Swim Program
The program is dedicated to boosting participation and retention of women and girls in sports and physical activities.
Central Coast Mayor Lawrie McKinna said the Girls in the Game program empowered women and girls through sports, contributing to a stronger, healthier and more connected community.
“By providing accessible and tailored programs like Mumma Ball, we foster a culture of equality and respect in sport across the Coast” he said.
