For the first time, NSW Tennis Country has developed an annual grant scheme to provide financial support to regional based coaches. The purpose of this grant is to assist those coaches in developing regional based players who are active within the competition and event space.
To promote, grow and develop regional based players, it is essential coaches are appropriately equipped and resourced. This grant provides coaches with the opportunity to improve and deliver high quality coaching to their players. For example, successful applicants will be able to utilise their funds on purchasing new equipment, developing new coaching programs, expanding existing programs or traveling to events in support of their players.
This program will consist of ten (10) individual $1,000.00 grants to be awarded to regional coaches based on their application and ability to meet the eligibility criteria.
Eligibility criteria;
- Tennis Australia Coach Members who are actively coaching within the area defined as NSW Tennis Country and being employed or engaged by a Member of Tennis NSW.
- Coaches qualified by a third-party provider (ie: ATPCA and alike.) Subject to the coach being employed or engaged by a Member of Tennis NSW. Coaches must be actively coaching within the area defined as NSW Tennis Country and provide a current valid WWCC and National Police Check upon lodging the application for this grant funding.
Applicants should note a full integrity and compliance check will be performed as part of the assessment process, including the verification of Working with Children Checks where appropriate.
Director of Tennis NSW and NSW Tennis Country Chair, Brett Bevan said,
“This is an exciting opportunity for NSW Tennis Country and Tennis NSW to provide direct financial support to regional coaches to help them deliver high quality coaching to regional based players.”
