Have you heard about the Local Sporting Champions program that is now available nationally for individuals and teams? This Australian Government initiative has been designed to provide financial assistance for junior sportsmen and women towards the cost of travel, accommodation, uniforms or equipment when competing at an official national sporting organisation (NSO) endorsed state sporting organisation (SSO) or national school sporting competition. To be eligible to apply, young people must be aged between 12-18 years and travelling more than 250km to compete in state or national level sporting competitions. So if you know any junior sportsmen and women that maybe finding it difficult to meet the ongoing and significant costs associated with participation at sporting competitions, send them this flyer and encourage them to apply for an LSC grant online at www.ausport.gov.au/champions
Yeah this is a cool thing, i applied for it back in my windsurfing days but never got it. Hopefully they are recognising water boardsports more now so some young fellas can get some cash. Make sure you groms all apply.
cheaked it out and tryed to apply but kiteboarding isn't one of the sports on the drop down 500 bucks would help nicely.. have u got any more info on it or did u just get the email?
It would seem the General is right. AKSA will follow through to investigate this one. It may just be one of those national sporting recognition factors we could be elligible for if we can tick the right boxes. With expected membership exceeding 2000 this current season we should start to have some influence - surely. You own state KSA affiliate will be aware of any progress - or otherwise. Ask or comment there or on the seabreeze AKSA forum.
I thought this was the case, but i wanted to stay positive. I sent them an email back in the day and they said they were looking into putting windsurfing as a sport..... yeah right.
