school programs

Sporting Schools is an Australian Sports Commission initiative aimed at increasing children's participation in sport and connecting them with community sporting opportunities.

Through this program, schools can apply for government funding to host sporting bodies such as Hockey Brisbane, which run programs at the school before, during, or after hours for as many weeks as desired.

Hockey Brisbane provides all necessary equipment and qualified coaches, with no out-of-pocket costs for the school or participants.

Sporting Schools has teamed up with Hockey Australia to deliver hockey into your school!

BWHA are committed to delivering Sporting Schools programs to schools within the Greater Brisbane area.

School staff apply for funding from Sporting Schools to use towards a hockey program at their school. Once approved, the school selects hockey as their chosen sport. BWHA receives information from Hockey Australia regarding the program, and contacts the school directly.

BWHA will send a qualified coach to the school to deliver the program, which accommodates the schools request – programs can run for example;
1hr a week, for 2-6 weeks – the school chooses the day, time and location!
