Play Our Way Funding

In 2024, our club received funding from the Australian Government under the Play Our Way grant program. The program aims to give women and girls more opportunities to access, participate and stay involved in sport and physical activity. The grant is for 3 years and will be used by the club to provide safe, inclusive, quality and sustainable facilities, equipment and initiatives and help women and girls to stay involved in sport and physical activity for life.
