Sporting Schools Club Connect 2022
BEFORE YOU BEGIN
Welcome to the Sport Australia online grant application portal, powered by SmartyGrants.
OVERVIEW
Sporting Schools Club Connect (Club Connect) aims to enable primary schools to build on their involvement in the Sporting Schools program by establishing and building on relationships with local sporting clubs.
Eligible schools can apply for a grant of $5,000 (GST exclusive) to deliver an out of school hours sport program by engaging a Club Connect partner sport. Grants will be allocated on a first-come, first-served basis.
The focus of the initiative is to support primary school students to transition from a school-based sporting program to participating at their local sporting club, promoting a lifelong engagement in sport.
Club Connect activities can be run over Terms 1 and/or 2, 2022.
