ABOUT US
SHORT
Lachlan and Jill have a long history of working at Cairns Indoor Sports. They both began working at the center while they were still kids.
Lachlan then went on to manage different indoor sports centers in Queensland before embarking on a new adventure with Tim and Jill in 2000. They moved abroad to live and work for several years.
In 2003 Lachlan arrived back from living in Holland and was offered the chance to purchase the business from his old boss. He contacted Tim and Jill who were still living in London with this opportunity and they agreed this would be their next adventure.
Lachlan resumed his role as Manager and the following year, Jill and Tim moved back to Cairns and took on their roles in the business.
The business has grown to include Inflatable Kingdom which, operates on weekends and school holidays as well as Tiny Tots that opens during the week. Their pursuit has always been to get all ages active and have to fun at the same time.
Cairns Indoor Sports is proudly aligned to Cricket Australia, Indoor Netball Australia and Brisbane Roar.
