The story so far... Print E-mail

ZebraSports Plus was formed in 2007 as a vehicle for promoting health, fitness and general wellbeing for all Australians. We believe that adequate fitness is essential for living life well and that all of us need to maintain and protect our bodies in order to achieve the goals that we set for ourselves.

Our founder, Matt Walker has had a lifelong passion for sport, fitness and exercise. This passion has seen Matt involved in sports as varied as rugby league, personal conditioning and even martial arts. More recently Matt has competed at a national level in Sports Acrobatics having ranked five times nationally. This vast experience and knowledge has opened up opportunities for Matt to coach professionally at several of Brisbane’s popular gymnastic clubs including his current post at Robertson Gymnastics. This desire to develop the skills of younger people has seen Matt appointed head coach of the Queensland State Acrobatics teams on several occasions. Matt has recently added education to this long list of achievements with his completed studies in health science, graduating in a Graduate Diploma of Applied Science in the field sports coaching, delivered by the University of Queensland.

In March 2007, the ZebraSports Plus team, were working with a few primary aged children on improving their gross motor skills. This workshop gave birth to the ‘Animal Antics’ program, which is designed for children aged 4-8 and seeks to develop their balance, muscle control and spatial perception. This fun filled program has been recently adopted by the Brisbane City Council’s ‘Active Parks program’ and can be accessed free of charge by local families as a way to support their children’s development.

ZebraSports Plus has had a short but exciting history so far. However, we are looking forward to being around for the long haul. Life today is fast-paced and stress-filled and looking after ourselves can become a low priority. The ZebraSports Plus team is committed to helping you get back outdoors, raise the old heart rate and build some physical confidence, which will serve you in every aspect of life. Whether you are an athlete already or just wanting to get back into shape, ZebraSports Plus can help you along the journey. We look forward to working with you in the near future…
