Sporting clubs in Whittlesea are being encouraged to apply for Whittlesea council’s Female Inclusion in Sport Grant Program.
In partnership with DPV Health, the initiative aims to boost female participation in our vibrant community’s sporting clubs and address the current underrepresentation of women and girls in sports as participants and leaders.
Sporting clubs within Whittlesea can apply for financial support of up to $3000 for initiatives promoting an inclusive environment for women and girls. Initiatives can include new player programs, coach training, and leadership programs aimed at developing female leaders within clubs.
In 2023, Lalor Tennis Club used the grant to provide coaching and leadership courses to three young women actively participating in the club. This opportunity not only brought a fresh perspective to the club but also ensured ongoing sustainability for the junior girls’ programs, facilitated the provision of more female coaches, and built skills in young women who represent the club’s future.
Applications close January 19.
