Community involvement (sport clinics)
At the heart of the Great Barrier Reef Masters Games is a strong commitment to community engagement. In the lead-up to the 2027 Games, we continue to deliver sports clinics, development opportunities, and outreach programs that inspire participation at every level. These initiatives not only strengthen local sporting communities but also create pathways for people of all ages to connect, learn, and grow through sport.
With the announcement of our 2027 Games Ambassador just around the corner, we’re excited to build even greater momentum and celebrate the spirit of Masters sport across the region.
