Mr Bull said, "The funding up for grabs has the capacity to provide clubs the ability to upskill or offer specialised training for volunteers and officials, assist families with the cost burden for sports uniforms or develop new programs or initiatives to drive active participation in sport. The opportunities are endless."
"Grassroots sport plays a critical role in the fabric of our communities encouraging people to stay healthy, active and connected with like-minded people. It is so important that clubs have access to funding support to encourage participation not only for athletes, but for coaches, officials and club administrators, minimising the cost burden for all," Mr Bull said.
