Wagga Wagga City Council is proud to present KOORINGAL KICKS AND TRICKS, a youth and families community event, thanks to funding from the NSW Government as part of the Holiday Break Program for Summer 2024/2025.
Kicking off at 2 pm on Thursday 30 January 2025 at Henwood Park in Kooringal, there will be a multi-heat skate competition for young people aged 10 to 25 years, presented by Al's Skate Co.
Council's Youth and Community Development Officer Mel Fattore said there are loads of prizes to be won.
"Alongside the competition, young people, their friends, family and circle of care will have the opportunity to engage with valuable youth services based in Wagga Wagga along with fun and exciting activities like weaving, handball competitions, 3x3 basketball and giant lawn games," Mel Fattore said.
"When the epic skate competition wraps up at 7pm, everyone is invited to stay around for a free family-friendly outdoor movie in partnership with Rural Outreach Counselling.
"With the cost of living pressures, Council wanted to support young people and families getting ready to return to the new school year, by finishing up the summer school holidays with one last fun, social and jam-packed giveaway event which provides much needed support to our community."
Community partners Rapid Relief Team Wagga, St Vincent de Paul Riverina and The Smith Family, along with NSW Youth Justice, will be providing services such as free haircuts on the day, much-needed school resources and free food.
"We'll have everything there for you, just bring a hat, sunscreen and positive vibes," Mel said.
"Bring your friends and family to enjoy this community event in Kooringal. This is a great chance to chill out and have fun before the new school, TAFE or university year kicks off. Everyone is welcome."
KOORINGAL KICKS AND TRICKS is a youth and community, alcohol and drug free event proudly presented and funded by City of Wagga Wagga, the NSW Government and Wagga Wagga Community Drug Action Team, with thanks to our community partners Rural Outreach Counselling, Rapid Food Relief, St Vincent de Paul and The Smith Family.
