Program Delivery and Updates

Sporting Schools is an Australian Government initiative designed to help schools increase children's participation in sport and connect them with community sport opportunities.

Sporting Schools programs including Squash Australia's OzSquash program are provided free to children and their families to help students build the confidence and capability to be active for life.

To help achieve this, Sport Australia has partnered with more than 35 national sporting organisations (NSOs). There is a program for primary schools, and a targeted program for Year 7 and 8 students in secondary schools.

Why OzSquash for Clubs?

• OzSquash is an opportunity for squash clubs to build a positive relationship with local primary schools, and start on-going programs.
• Although the club or venue can’t access the Sporting Schools grant directly, the grant allows the school to cover costs associated with OzSquash.
