Besides the sport and great competition, the Southern Skies Challenge is also about having fun, meeting new friends, and exploring Brisbane. We have arranged a number of planned events for both players and team management / supporters, so everyone can meet and enjoy everything the Challenge has to offer.
Managers Welcome Meeting
On the Sunday evening there is a casual welcome meeting for all team managers and coaches. Held at Brisbane Boys’ College, this evening offers the opportunity to meet the organisers and each other, and discuss the details of the week ahead.
Players Movie Night
On the Monday evening after dinner there is a Movie Night held at the Eldorado Cinema Complex at Indooroopilly. All players will enjoy a new release movie with team mates. The evening is extremely well supervised with Southern Skies staff and security.
Challenge Dinner
While players are enjoying a movie, coaches and managers reflect on the first days play at the Official Challenge Dinner. This evening is hosted at the Indooroopilly Hotel’s Amber Bar & Grill. Relax over a 3-course meal and drinks. A great chance to enjoy a relaxing evening with new and old friends.
LaserForce and Amusement Arcade Social Nights (Travelling teams)
On the Tuesday and Wednesday evenings after dinner, travelling teams will be able to enjoy some additional planned activities. Teams will be able to pit their skills of a different kind against each other on Tuesday at a local Amusement Arcade. Laserforce is an indoor laser tag game where teams can put their combat skills to the test on Wednesday.
Farewell BBQ and Awards Ceremony
At the conclusion of T20 games on Friday afternoon, Southern Skies will host a BBQ for all participants at their playing venue.
Awards Ceremonies will also be held at each venue where winning teams will be awarded a significant take home trophy and mementos for the champion players. The Southern Skies Challenge All Stars Team will also be announced and those players selected for this prestigious honour will receive a distinctive keepsake.
Optional Theme Park Day
Many teams opt to visit either Dreamworld or Wet’n Wild on the Saturday before they return home. Please let us know and we can help arrange discount tickets and bus transfers, if required.
