Mobile Activity Centre (MAC)

 

 

The Launceston PCYC can offer a wide range of recreational activities with its Mobile Activity Centre (MAC) trailer.

The trailer is loaded up with all sorts of sporting equipment and recreational gear that can be used for a wide range of activities, primarily for young people, or even the young at heart.

We can now also include Taiko (Japanese) drumming in our range of activities! It's great for all-round focus and coordination!

Our program can offer not only a regular opportunity to get active and stay healthy, but also to develop or enhance skills in one or a number of areas.

The program operates in a safe and fun filled environment where everyone has the opportunity to participate individually, or in small teams.

We can bring the MAC trailer to your school, community event, club, work windup or even your birthday party, to keep your kids active and happy.

That makes the MAC program the ideal recreational facility for your particular situation.

The PCYC Mobile Activity Centre (MAC) can offer the following range of activities:-

Football  skills development (kicking, marking, bouncing etc), actual games on a smaller field with cone goal markers, usually about 6-8 a side.
