Enhancing development pathways and sporting experiences for athletes, coaches and officials.
The WA Sport Development Pathways Grant Program supports state sporting associations (SSA’s) to strengthen sporting pathway environments and experiences for athletes, coaches and officials.
The WA Sport Development Pathways Grant Program is a key initiative under the WA Sport Development Pathways Strategy.
Community participation, development pathways and high-performance are the three primary elements of the sporting system. This program targets support on the development pathways element.
The goal to support to the sector in development pathways was identified through broad stakeholder engagement with SSAs. This was supported by consultation with the Western Australian Institute of Sport, the Regional Academies of Sport, SportWest, VenuesWest, cross-jurisdictional partners, the Australian Sports Commission (ASC), Paralympics Australia (PA).
This Program provides financial support for SSAs to develop their capacity and capability to prioritise long-term development over immediate performance, and ensure athletes, coaches and officials have the support they need to thrive in a development pathway environment.
As part of this process, CITS will provide a link to an online application form.
