| The Mission days witnessed the strong growth of an enthusiastic and competitive sports following, with the girls, boys, mums and dads all wanting to do their best. |

Lutheran Missionaries introduced the game to the local Aboriginals of Koonibba Mission in 1906, with games played for a learning and friendly atmosphere. |
| It saddens the heart when we stroll down Memory Lane and look at all the sports events which once had tremendous support - foot races, hammer & nailboard races, javelin throwing, football, netball and tennis. |
The two sports which allow all members of the family to participate are the winter sports of football & netball.
