Orienteering SA is making it easy and fun for newcomers to our sport to get out of doors, with 4 different Learn to Orienteer courses on offer, starting in October and November.

Our team of volunteer coaches can’t wait to show people how much fun they can have with a map and a compass. If you have a friend that might enjoy orienteering  –  or tried it once and wants to know more – now’s the time to get them involved.  And if you wish you knew more of the basic skills yourself there’s an upskilling  course for you too.

The courses are available at various times to suit different lifestyles, with a choice of midweek and weekend, evening and daytime. 

The beauty of Orienteering is that it's a lifelong sport that can be enjoyed by anyone of any age or fitness level. Help us get the word out by sharing the link with your friends and family. Or choose the course that best suits you and register to join in the fun. https://sa.orienteering.asn.au/coaching-training/learn-to-orienteer
