Oz Tag on the sand moves to Kendalls

After its successful inaugural event last year, Kiama Beach Tag is returning to the sand promising to be bigger and better.

Hoping to put Kiama on the map from an Oz Tag perspective, organisers Steve Emmett and Keiron Duncan are putting on a day filled with friendly competition and family fun.

“This year we have moved the event to Kendalls Beach which means we’ve got more sand and space available to offer junior divisions,” Steve says.

“We’re offering under 13s and 15s boys and girls divisions so kids can play this time and not just adults.”

Oz Tag is one of Kiama’s biggest community sports, and the organisers are hoping to build on this local base.

With a vision to create an event for everyone – not only the players – live music, a bar and food trucks including Hungry Monkey and The Pines Pantry will be there on the day.

And after wet weather cancelled the jumping castle last year, Steve has his fingers crossed for it to go ahead this year.

“Last year locals got behind the event, whether they played or came down to have a look,” he says.

“We’re again looking forward to having locals and teams from around the State get involved.”
