Healthy Sports Program

Healthy Sports funding available

We understand the importance of inspiring a love of healthy food and drinks amongst young people from an early age and the big role local sporting clubs and district associations play in the health and wellbeing of communities, as this is where young people are most active. The Healthy Sports Program has been designed to assist local sporting clubs and district associations provide young players with the food and drinks they need to perform at their best.

Under the Program, junior sports clubs and district associations can request for up to $4,000 in funding to implement healthy eating initiatives and improve canteen facilities. To be eligible, a club or district association must involve juniors (up to 18 years of age).

Successful grant recipients will receive a Healthy Sports toolkit and be connected to the Fuel to Go and Play® team who will support your organisation every step of the way. 

Lets make healthy eating the norm in sport! By working together, we can create change and give kids throughout WA the healthy start they deserve.

Healthy Sports testimonials

Kingsway Roos Netball Club

This has been a very engaging program for our committee to run and present to our members. With it being a short season due to COVID-19, Kingsway Roos Netball Club (KRNC) felt it was that something 'extra' that could be given to members to show them, the club cares about their health and safety. This is a great starting point with further health initiatives being planned for future seasons across all areas of health, sun safety and responsible drinking.

Whitford Hockey Club

The club has changed how we operate to increase the visibility of healthy options at eye height for children and adults, using a menu board to increase knowledge of all the healthy options we now have, including a weekly rotating special salad on a menu board and giving away healthy snacks and samples at the canteen to increase awareness of the new products.
