Duck and Turtle have been facilitating affordable, fun and engaging fitness activities, sports and games for local primary school students in Adelaide since 2015. 

The program was developed in consultation with working parents in the St Thomas School community that wanted more active kids during the holidays. They needed someone they could trust to facilitate a program that was inclusive, fun and would give their children an opportunity to engage with a wide range of other children from all over Adelaide. Most importantly though - something that would keep their children off their screens.

Our program has evolved from offering traditional sport coaching sessions, to a mixture of sports and inclusive and fun games which develop physical fitness as well as resilience, communication, teamwork and sportsmanship. These activities foster the development of life skills required to be successful in any social or sporting endeavour both now and in the future.

Our vision is simple. To have a higher amount of children in our school communities here in Adelaide enjoying the benefits of being active while learning critical personal skills and enhancing their own wellbeing.

We are proud of what we deliver as it is a program for sports-mad kids that also caters perfectly for those that aren’t, but need to be active.
