Increase participation

SPORTING Schools is an Australian Government initiative designed to help schools to increase children's participation in sport and connect them with community sporting organisations.

The program has more than 30 national sporting organisations coordinating the delivery of sport before, during and after school hours.

Community sporting organisations can be involved by linking in with their national sporting organisation to help run sporting school programs in local schools.

This is a great way for your club to engage with your local community and help get more kids playing sport.
