Adelaide Hula Hoopers is a sports club in Adelaide, South Australia that offers hoop events for both kids and adults. Led by Katrina Jensen, an experienced teacher with police clearance and public liability insurance, the club provides regular sessions for all ages.

She also creates, resizes, and repairs hoops, as well as decorates them. With her wide range of expertise, participants are guaranteed a fun and engaging experience.
The club holds a monthly meetup every second Friday of the month under the King William Street Bridge for a firespin/hoop/drum jam in the Parklands. This event is open to everyone to watch, play, or even try out some of the gear. It's a free and enjoyable gathering that doesn't require any bookings.
For those interested in hooping activities for kids, Adelaide Hula Hoopers has a dedicated page called Kidz Hoopz. They also offer classes at Tonsley, located at the east end of Alawoona Avenue in Clovelly Park. Additionally, on Thursdays from 7 pm, the club keeps rollerskaters company at gate 1 of the Tonsley Innovation Centre, providing the opportunity for a play hoop session. They also offer a one-hour beginner class at 8 pm in an area with reflective glass, which aids in learning the moves.
Adelaide Hula Hoopers brings a variety of hoops to their sessions, including different sizes, shapes, and light-up options. Participants have the chance to try out various types of hoops and discover which ones work best for them.
Aside from regular sessions and classes, Adelaide Hula Hoopers also offers party hoop fun for both adults and kids. They can provide hoop decorating sessions for up to 12 people, either at your own location or at Tonsley.
In terms of clothing, it is recommended to wear clothes that allow you to stay cool since hooping is a great calorie-burning activity. T-shirts and leggings are suitable for winter, while shorts and t-shirts are recommended for summer. Flat shoes with minimal grip are preferable, but participants can also choose to wear socks or go barefoot. It is important to bring water to stay hydrated during the sessions.
