Sporting Schools offers grant opportunities for primary schools, and targeted grant opportunities for secondary schools in relation to year 7 and 8 students. Grants support the delivery of sport-based programs to help students build the confidence and capability to be active for life. Sporting Schools has partnered with more than 35 national sporting organisations (NSOs) to facilitate delivery of Sporting Schools programs.
The objectives of Sporting Schools are to:
improve children’s fundamental movement skills to encourage lifelong participation in physical activity
increase the awareness of the value of sport in schools
engage children in high quality sporting programs
connect children with sport in their local communities
develop the capability and capacity of sport to drive nationwide participation growth.
Sporting Schools funding is available to primary schools to deliver free Sporting Schools programs before, during or after school, using one of our NSO partners.
Grants of between $1,000 and $3,600 (GST exclusive) are available per primary school for each term. This comprises:
a base funding amount determined by the total number of students enrolled in years P-6 at the school (as provided in the grant application);
an incentive funding amount for expected overall participant numbers (as provided in the grant application); and
a potential, additional ‘Special Circumstances’ funding amount of $500 (GST exclusive) to assist eligible schools with additional costs due to location or demographics. To be eligible for Special Circumstances funding, schools need to satisfy at least one of the criteria below:
Be a special school
Have students enrolled with special needs
Be located in an Indigenous community
Have students enrolled that identify as Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander
Be located in a regional or remote location, as determined by the Accessibility and Remoteness Index of Australia (ARIA) category classification.

Assessment criteria
To ensure equal access to primary school funding, applications are prioritised for funding by applying the assessment criteria. Applications are then ranked and may be recommended for funding (subject to availability).
In the event that (as anticipated), applications exceed the level of available funding, applications will be ranked in order of priority for funding, by applying each of the following criteria in order:
schools which have received the least number of Sporting Schools grants over the past four terms will be given priority
schools which propose engaging a higher proportion of their school population will be given priority
schools which submit their application earlier in the application period will be given priority over later applications.
Secondary school grant program
Sporting Schools funding is available to secondary schools to deliver free Sporting Schools programs before, during or after school to students, using one of our NSO partners. The targeted program for students in years 7 and 8 is offered to address the barriers that prevent teenagers from participating in sport.
The objectives for the targeted, secondary schools component of Sporting Schools (for students in years 7 and 8) are to:
Tackle the decline in sport participation that occurs during adolescence. We seek to do this by targeting secondary students aged 12-14, particularly girls, encouraging long-lasting relationships with sport.
Increase physical activity in areas with large cohorts of inactive students. National data tells us that only one in ten Australian secondary school students get the recommended 60 minutes of physical activity every day of the week. The targeted secondary schools (years 7 and 8) program provides sporting activities designed to motivate and spark the interest of these students.
Provide access to tailored resources for schools where there is evidence of disadvantage. Studies show that areas of social disadvantage can often link to large groups of inactive youth. By providing funding and additional resources, the program aims to reduce the barriers these schools face.
Grants of between $1,000 and $2,500 (GST exclusive) are available per secondary school for each term. The funding amount is based on the expected participant numbers (as provided in the grant application) as outlined in the table below.

Assessment criteria and selection
Secondary school applications are assessed through a competitive process. The assessment panel will consider each application on its merits based on how well it satisfies the assessment criteria. Applications are then ranked and may be recommended for funding (subject to availability).
Schools must address the following two criteria in their application. Applications will be assessed based on the weighting given to each criteria.
Criteria 1 – Reaching the Target Demographic (50%)
This will be demonstrated by:
planning to deliver a targeted program for secondary schools that provides access to tailored resources and support for students in years 7 and 8
planning to deliver a program focused on girls, which addresses the barriers preventing teenagers from participating in sport.
Criteria 2 – Meeting Program Goals (50%)
This will be demonstrated by:
tackling the decline in sports participation that occurs during adolescence, targeting secondary students aged 12-14, particularly girls, encouraging long-lasting relationships with sport
increasing physical activity in areas with large cohorts of inactive students.
motivating and sparking the interest of year 7 and 8 students
providing access to tailored resources for schools where there is evidence of disadvantage. Studies show that areas of social disadvantage can often link to large groups of inactive youth.

Parameters

Expenditure of funds or program delivery cannot be rolled over to another school term (funding period).
The parameters help to describe the characteristics of required activities for schools participating in Sporting Schools. All schools which receive Sporting Schools funding are required to comply with the following parameters*:
provide Sporting Schools programs as a free service. Schools must not request payment from children or families to participate in activities under Sporting Schools
provide Sporting Schools programs as complementary to existing sport and physical education curriculum delivery
deliver a Sporting Schools partner sport program, with a minimum of four sessions, which apply the Playing for Life key principles:
Each session must:
have the same participants taking part
have a minimum of 10 participants
engage participants of all abilities; and
actively engage participants for the duration of the session (i.e. 45 – 60 minutes of activity).
ensure active supervision is provided for activities under Sporting Schools in addition to the coach

spend funding on Sporting Schools activities and supported costs only within the approved funding period (school term)

The Australian Sports Commission has partnered with more than 35 NSOs to deliver Sporting Schools programs across Australia. Our partner NSOs offer developmentally appropriate and curriculum-aligned programs for children designed specifically for the school environment. They also provide quality delivery resources and professional development for teachers to support teacher delivery.
Schools can use their site account to log in to the online Sporting Schools portal to access coach and teacher-delivered sport packages in the booking system, and make bookings with partner NSOs and their approved organisations. Each sport package on offer meets the minimum number of sessions and participants required by Sporting Schools and each coach accessible through the booking system meets all coaching requirements, including a valid working with children check.
* Note that schools with less than 10 students can still apply. Delivery equivalent to 3-4 hours per participant is supported where school or program delivery location requires intensive delivery.
Due to exceptional circumstances (such as natural disasters, school closures or other circumstances approved by the Australian Sports Commission), schools may have an Exceptional Circumstances Activity Plan approved if they are unable to deliver a program within the funding period.
