Aspiring athletes in Capricornia are scoring big, with Federal Member for Capricornia, Michelle Landry delivering $22,250 to support 40 local young sportspeople through the Local Sporting Champions program.
The Local Sporting Champions program, managed by Sport Australia, helps athletes, coaches, and officials aged 12-18 cover costs for eligible state, national, or international competitions.
Ms Landry emphasised the importance of the program for local families and the community.
"Local Sporting Champions gives young athletes in Capricornia the chance to compete at higher levels.
"This funding eases the financial burden on families by helping cover expenses like travel, accommodation, uniforms, and equipment.
"Sport is about more than competition; it's about keeping young people active, fostering social connections and building confidence,” Ms Landry said.
Local Sporting Champions continues to invest in the region’s bright future, ensuring young athletes can chase their dreams without barriers.
“Capricornia has a long and impressive track record of producing athletes like Anna and Kerrie Meares, Amy Hetzel, Daly Cherry-Evans and Jamie Dwyer.
“Programs such as the Local Sporting Champions helps to foster the next generation of athletes.
“I congratulate the successful recipients of the latest round of Local Sporting Champions and wish them all the best in their sporting endeavours.”
