8 RECREATE® | UWA Kids Sports
A dynamic school holiday sport and recreation experience.
The UWA Kids Sports Holiday Program
is an action-packed school holiday
program based on group sport and
recreation activities.
Held from 6-31 January 2014 at the
UWA Recreation and Fitness Centre,
children aged 5-13 will participate in two
streams of age-targeted activities aimed
at enhancing their physical education,
exposing them to new and exciting
sports as well as their favourite activities
in a fun, engaging and safe environment.
Children will get to meet and play sport
with some of Perth’s best professional
athletes in specialised workshops
with the Western Force (rugby), Perth
Wildcats and West Coast Waves
(basketball) and Western Warriors and
Western Fury (cricket). The Western
Force will run a Walla Tag session, a
non-contact form of Rugby Union where
children learn how to play rugby, catch
and pass a rugby ball and develop skills
in evading opposition players.
Other favourite activities include ‘Rugby
Octopus’, where kids try to evade each
other and avoid having their flag belts
captured by the other team.
Summer fun for the young
UWA Kids Sports SUMMER Holiday Program 6 to 31 January
Tobias Hoskins, RugbyWA’s
Development Officer, said children
respond enthusiastically to these
activities, gaining new skill sets, learning
about a sport they may not have played
before and possibly even discovering
their passion for a new sport.
“The kids get on great with our staff –
we are made up of young, active people
who love being out and about with the
kids and I think they can really feel that
when we are running our sessions,”
Tobias said.
The UWA Taekwondo Club will run an
action-packed introductory workshop
which will incorporate fundamental motor
skills and individual and team challenges
such as races and popular tag-sparring.
Adeline Cheong, a UWA Taekwondo
Club black belt instructor and examiner,
said children don’t need to be athletic
to enjoy the challenge and rapid pace of
taekwondo.
In addition to athlete workshops and
scheduled activities, children will also
visit the UWA School of Sport Science
where they will learn firsthand about
the processes that underpin human
movement and the activities they are
participating in.
“We hope the children gain a love
for taekwondo and for sport in
general and develop a desire to
lead a healthy and active lifestyle”
- adeline cheong
Children will also receive tickets from
West Coast Waves, Perth’s professional
women’s basketball team, to attend
a home game on 31 January versus
the Dandenong Rangers at the WA
Basketball Centre.
The program is led by UWA Sports’
qualified and experienced coaches and
instructors, all of whom hold First Aid
qualifications and Working With Children
cards, at UWA Sports’ facilities.
To register your child for the UWA Kids
Sports Holiday Program, or to find out

Battle Post Xmas BulgeFight back against the silly season with this quick and intense living room workout
Filled with office parties, backyard barbeques and holiday meals with family, friends and
in-laws, it’s no surprise that we overindulge during the festive season. Don’t let all of this
year’s hard work on the field or in the gym be spoiled by a few indiscretions in the form of
Christmas pudding!
Fight the good fight to keep those kilos at bay with this simple exercise plan you can do at
home to keep you on the right track. Once you become comfortable with the exercises, try
adding on the more difficult options.
it’s a fact - Xmas and new year are the biggest celebration times of the year.
Set 1: BURPEES
Repeat: 20 times
Beginners: Focus on depth and range of
movement. Try to be as fluid as possible.
Intermediates: Aim for more power and
intensity; finish off with a strong tuck jump.
Options: lunge/squat can be substituted
for a ‘burpee’. Dumbells/light weights can
be held throughout the set. Try to work your
way through all these.
Set 2: STEP LUNGE
Repeat: 20 lunges
Focus on dropping your back knee down until it almost touches the
ground, then pull through the heel and lift your leg while keeping your
back straight.
Option: To make this exercise more intense, add the knee lift shown
in image 3.
Set 3: PRESS
Repeat: 10x wide, 10x narrow
Perform push ups alternating between
wide and narrow arm position.
Beginners: If you struggle to do push
ups, try them with your knees on the
ground.
Set 4: DOUBLE LEG RAISE
Repeat: 20x each side
Lying on the corner of your backside (not bone), hold your legs out
straight and together. Raise your legs by squeezing your obliques
(side-abs).
Beginners: Only raise your top leg, leaving your bottom leg bent and
resting on the floor.
Set 5: PIKE PRESS
Repeat: 20 presses
From pike position, bend the arms to
lower the head to the ground, then
extending the arms back to a straight
position.

UWA Social Sports Soccer
Competition Manager
Studying Bachelor of Law and Economics
I first officiated football (soccer) back in
my home country of England where I
was a linesman for my school’s teams,
after I found out it was a great excuse to
get out of class. After moving to Perth
eight years ago I have umpired cricket
and refereed soccer at my high school.
As a player I always enjoyed being right
in the thick of the action and refereeing
while at university has meant I can stay
close to the action even though my
playing days are over.
I have participated in both mixed and
men’s social soccer competitions at
UWA since 2009. As a student and a
player, I became close friends with Jay
Raja, the previous soccer competition
manager who introduced me to
refereeing through the Inter-Faculty
competition.
I was inspired by the passion the players
and referees had in the heat of the
competition and I wanted to become a
part of it.
Students, staff, community
and corporates all
compete in UWA Social
Sports.One of the great benefits of being a UWA
Social Sports official is getting paid to
do what you love - facilitating sport. This
year we have students, staff, the general
public and even a corporate law firm
playing in the competition. It’s great to
see so many different players of diverse
backgrounds getting involved.
We have a great range of teams, from
veterans coming back for a third or
fourth season to a team of freshers who
are playing for the first time.
Since coming to UWA I have been
involved in the Inter-Faculty competition
through Blackstone (Law) and ECOMS
playing in soccer, cricket, touch rugby
and other sports which I am ridiculously
bad at. The Inter-Faculty competition
is great for making long lasting friends
with your fellow students while keeping
active. I was also lucky enough to play
for the University Cricket Club for a year
before work commitments took over
most of my life.
Play, learn and grow.What I enjoy the most is seeing
the teams that start off relatively
inexperienced and nervous, grow
throughout the semester and then come
back in future semesters to challenge for
the finals.
I would encourage anyone who loves
sport to become an official for UWA
Social Sports, and I know they are
always looking for people to get involved
as it is a great way to enjoy the sports
you love (and get paid for it). I am lucky
enough to be in this position through
the support UWA Sports provides to the
Social Sports program and the great
professionalism the teams conduct
themselves with.
As many of the officials would tell you, it
is also a great way to learn life skills such
as decision making, communication and
how to conduct yourself in a respectful
manner.
It’s been a privilege to officiate the
teams that participate in UWA Social
Sports. As a former player in the
competition myself, I know what it is like
to be giving the referees a hard time.
This perspective has helped me in my
officiating and I can give informed advice
when communicating with players.
Become an Official
If you are interested in becoming a
UWA Social Sports official, including
referees, umpires and competition
managers, email your CV including
any qualifications and experience to
Brad Suriani.
