COMMUNITY SPORT INFRASTRUCTURE GRANT PROGRAM
See all case studies from the Move It AUS Community Sport Infrastructure Grant Program
PLAYGROUPS VICTORIA
Grant program: Participation Grant Project: MoveIt4Kids Grant amount: $200,000
The partnership of drummond street services, Playgroup Victoria and Hullaballoo Music for All have used their funding to create a tailored music and dance program [MoveIt4kids] to get parents and kids physically active. The program will be delivered in childcare centres/playgroup across Victoria and Tasmania and encourages all Australian’s to ‘find their 30’
“The program is very inclusive, interactive and hands-on. It is done with lots of dancing, music and humour and aims to encourage parents to support their children to find 60 minutes of exercise each day”
BASKETBALL AUSTRALIA
Grant program: Better Ageing Project type/title: Walking Basketball Grant amount: $1,035,000
You’ve probably heard of the Australian Boomers basketball team, but in Victoria, the Baby Boomers are the team to beat. They’re a team of walking basketballers – and they play a game that’s enjoyed a recent explosion in popularity across the state. What may be surprising is the average age of participants – 75 years young.
“We wanted to challenge the perception that basketball has to be a running game, instilling a sense of belonging and connection in older players to encourage their participation in team sports.”
