MyGolf Sporting Schools program<\/h2>\n

Sporting Schools funding applications for Term 1\u00a0open TODAY, 8 November<\/strong>, and will be open for two weeks until Friday, 19\u00a0November!<\/h5>\n
Now is the time to get in touch with your local schools, encourage them to apply and let them know you are keen to deliver their MyGolf Sporting Schools program.\u00a0<\/h5>\n

PGA Professionals and Community Instructors\u00a0play a key role in the delivery of the MyGolf Sporting Schools program. <\/strong><\/p>\n

Sporting Schools is a $280 million Australian Government initiative designed to help schools to increase children’s participation in sport, and to connect them with community sporting opportunities.<\/p>\n

Any school can register and apply so there is sure to be a local school in your area that could be looking to run a Sporting Schools program, so now is your chance to make sure it is MyGolf.<\/p>\n

Coaches receive payment (approximately\u00a0$88 – $120 per session) for their time but\u00a0most importantly can create a pathway for children to transition into your local MyGolf Club program.<\/p>\n

Schools will be able to apply for Sporting Schools funding as of\u00a0Monday, November 8.<\/strong><\/p>\n

If you are interested in potentially delivering a MyGolf Sporting Schools program, it is recommended that you get into contact with your local school to see if they would be interested in applying for the funding and then having you deliver their program, or contacting your State\/Territory Sporting Schools coordinator (below) to become part of the coaching network.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Please note: To be eligible to deliver a Sporting Schools program, you must be a qualified PGA Professional OR hold a current Community Instructor\u00a0Accreditation. You must also be able to provide and maintain a valid\u00a0State\/Territory Working with Children Clearance.<\/p>\n

Steps to get involved and stay involved<\/h2>\n

Check out the MyGolf Schools Guide<\/u><\/a><\/strong> for all the information you will need to know about School program\u00a0and Sporting Schools.<\/p>\n

Share <\/strong>the MyGolf Schools Guide with your local school contacts so they can see all that the program is about – this can be used as a great promotional tool around Sporting Schools Funding periods to encourage the schools to apply for funding and request golf!
\nContact mygolfschools@golf.org.au<\/a> if you would like printed copies to provide to schools.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Ensure your PGA or Community Instructor Accreditation<\/strong> is current.<\/p>\n

Make sure you are a part of the Sporting Schools Coach Network<\/strong> (contact your state representative below) and you hold and have sent through a current Working with Children Check (WWCC)<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Your Golf Australia\/State Golf representative will contact you<\/strong> if a school in your local area has been successful in gaining funding and wants to run a coach-delivered program.<\/strong><\/p>\n

If a school contacts you directly to let you know they’ve been successful in gaining Sporting Schools funding and want you to deliver their program, make sure to tell them to upload a coach-delivered program into the Sporting Schools Booking System<\/u><\/a><\/strong>. This forms part of the Term and Conditions of being involved.<\/p>\n

Once you have been assigned\u00a0as the coach for a program booking, you will receive an email (from info@sportingschools.gov.au<\/a>) with the program details. Please ensure you click ACCEPT\u00a0<\/strong>at the bottom of this email to confirm.<\/p>\n

Before the first session, ensure you have made contact with the school<\/strong> to confirm program details &\u00a0coaching fees*, that you are aware of school policies around child protection and Covid-19\u00a0and that the school will have access to equipment for the program.\u00a0<\/p>\n

In the current climate, before entering a school, all GA endorsed coaches must ensure you have read and understood the Covid-19 Coaching Guidelines<\/a> and implement the relevant hygeine and safety<\/strong> measures when delivering your programs.<\/p>\n

Deliver <\/strong>a fun, safe and engaging MyGolf Sporting Schools program by following the\u00a0curriculum resources provided<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Promote <\/strong>the local MyGolf program\u00a0by providing certificates, posters or flyers<\/a> including the Unique URL of the program. (These are all available through the deliverer or coordinator dashboards on the GA participation portal)<\/p>\n

Invoice <\/strong>the school directly for coaching fees at the completion of the program.\u00a0<\/p>\n

* The recommended coaching fee per session is $90\u00a0– $120\u00a0(incl. GST). This price range will be dependant on the amount of sessions schools wish to deliver in the one day. We want to ensure MyGolf Sporting Schools remains an accessible option for schools, with schools\u00a0and coaches still given scope to\u00a0negotiate this to ensure any travel costs\u00a0are covered. This must align with the supported costs outlined on the Sporting Schools Spending Factsheet.<\/a><\/p>\n

ClubConnect Opportunities\u00a0<\/h2>\n

Sporting Schools Club Connect will enable primary schools to build on their involvement in the Sporting Schools program by establishing and building on relationships with local sporting clubs.<\/p>\n

Eligible schools<\/a>\u00a0<\/strong>can apply for a Club Connect grant (between 25 October – 6 November)\u00a0 to deliver an\u00a0out of school hours<\/strong>\u00a0sport program by engaging a Club Connect partner national sporting organisation, that delivers one of the\u00a0Sporting Schools Club Connect sports<\/a>.
