Celebrating our young sporting champions

Recognising young sporting participants is the focus of our Local Sporting Champions program, which supports young people between 12-18, and coaches or other sporting officials who are travelling within Tasmania or interstate to participate or assist in a state or national championship. Unfortunately, 2020 and 2021 have seen so many of these championships cancelled or delayed due to the pandemic.

Mason Clark from Launceston was successful in securing a grant in a recent LSC round and was fortunate to travel interstate, with his coach Terry, to represent Tasmania and the Launceston University Judo Club at the 2021 Judo Australia National Championship securing a bronze medal! Round 3 of the 2021 program is now open.

Successful applicants will receive $500-$750 towards the cost of attending their championships. Applications close 31 December. For more information visit sportaus.gov.au
