Growing for Gold

What is Growing for Gold?

Growing for Gold is a free program for young people aged 3 to 16, offering an opportunity to try various sports and recreational activities. Around 600 participants take part each year, with 20% going on to join a sporting club.

All sessions are fully supervised by club representatives and focus on inclusivity, free participation, and fun!

Established by the City of Salisbury in 1999, the program has expanded to include the Cities of Port Adelaide Enfield, Playford, and Tea Tree Gully. This partnership has broadened participation and increased the variety of sports and activities available.
