Amanda was pleased to meet recipients of the latest round of the Local Sporting and Local Para Champions Grants.
The grants provide financial assistance to athletes aged 12-18 to enable them to compete in state, national and international sporting competitions.
These programs offer a fantastic opportunity to support young athletes to pursue their sporting goals. Amanda believes that playing sport has a whole range of benefits for young people’s growth and development including fostering teamwork, resilience and leadership skills.
Amanda hosted a ceremony to recognise the achievements of the grant recipients. This round included athletes from a diverse range of sporting codes including judo, BMX and ice skating.
Previous recipients of the grants have gone onto represent Australia at the Olympics including Jack Rossiter who is competing in shooting at Paris 2024. Amanda is hopeful this round included some future Olympians.
