Three Wyndham sporting clubs will be able to buy new equipment, upgrade coaching skills or improve their operations thanks to grants awarded by the state government.

Wyndham Netball Association, Werribee Centrals Junior Football Club and Little River Pony Club are among grassroots sporting clubs across Victoria who were successful in the latest round of the government’s Sports Club Grants Program.

Under the grants, clubs can access up to $1000 for new uniforms and equipment, up to $2000 to train coaches and volunteers and $5000 for administration.

Werribee MP Tim Pallas said the grants would help improve access to sport in Wyndham.

“The Sporting Club Grants Program is giving grassroots sports clubs in Werribee the support they need to grow their ranks and help more people than ever play the sports they love.”

Minister for Community Sport Ross Spence said the benefit of grants would flow through to athletes themselves.

I look forward to seeing a new generation of local champions get their chance to take their sports to a whole new level thanks to this support,” she said.
