From sport programmes to free-to-play activities, there is definitely something for everyone, so come on down to Sporty Playdate!

Our Sporty Playdate activities and programmes are specially curated for your little ones to learn and engage more deeply in various sport from different sport categories.

We promise you an unforgettable sporting experience as you create your very own special memories as a family with us!

Fees will apply for selected programmes for parents and children 4 - 12 years old, but we also have FREE activities for everyone to enjoy. Rain or shine*, Sporty Playdate promises an action-packed day for the whole family.
