Dates: Friday 10th– Monday 13th June at Lake Hume Resort in Albury, NSW.
Background: The SSPA National Sports Weekend began back in 1995 purely to provide another opportunity for the State of Origin basketball clash to take place between NSW and Victoria. Attended by about 30 people, the weekend saw Victoria claim a 25–18 victory to win the Rosemary Hobbs Trophy for the fourth time. Since 1996, the weekend has evolved into the second largest event on the SSPA’s annual national calendar, with numbers of attendance in the 80’s. Today, this weekend aims to provide competitive and fun sporting opportunities for all across a variety of sports and for all abilities. And this year, we will celebrate our 22nd year.
Reasons to Attend:
Opportunity to play sport against short statured individuals of all ages and abilities.
A great weekend to make new friends and to catch up with old ones.
A once a year opportunity filled with fun, sport and social opportunities for the whole family.
