Employer Description:
Fluff it. Duff it. Score it. Smash it. Whatever you do, just give it a go. That’s our motto for sport and for life. We’re for jumping right in and going on new adventures together, as a team. We are a place for everyone to try different sports, make new friends and explore what life is all about. So we do all sorts of sports and activities, some you’ll know, some you might not (heard of Kabaddi?), we hang out, we chat, we eat and we discover new things. What matters is we have a laugh while doing it. We believe that being more active, like the Christian faith, can change your life forever. And so we’re here to get everyone moving and show that things are a lot more fun when we’re kicking, diving, riding, rolling, running and jumping around together. We’re passionate about building a network of fun-loving sport and Christian faith groups where everyone is invited to try different sports, make new friends and explore what life is all about.
