Sports you can deliver at your school

Sporting Schools has partnered with more than 45 key national sporting organisations (NSO/Ds) to help deliver a quality Sporting Schools experience. With their involvement, Sporting Schools offers access to national products supported by NSO-endorsed coaches that can also support your school’s curriculum.

To view our NSO partners and sports your school can deliver you can:

• visit our website
• view the table at the bottom of this article

Not all partner sports may be available for your school

In some circumstances our partner sports may not be able to provide sport services to your school. This can be due to one or more of the following reasons:

• the sport does not have a program designed for your school type (eg. the sport only caters for primary or secondary school-aged children)
• the sport does not have a program designed for the year level
• the sport does not provide coaches to a state/territory or region within a state/territory

When you receive your grant success email, you can see all available sports on our booking portal. From there you can book the sport(s) available of your choice.

What do these sports provide

Each sport has a program design specific to your student's age group. These can be viewed here (view each sport's product page). These options can be booked in our sport booking portal.

The sport may also provide equipment, teacher training and other support materials. The sport will typically discuss these with you after you've made a booking.

👉 IMPORTANT: Ensure your grant expenditure matches the program rules. More info here 

Can I use non-partner sports

No, program parameters require schools to use NSO partner sports for Sporting Schools funded programs.

Costs associated with the delivery of activities that are outside the NSO partner sports are not supported e.g. martial arts (excluding karate, judo and taekwondo), Oztag, circus skills, boot camps, yoga, pilates, cheer, archery, pickleball, personal trainers, fundamental movements programs, etc.

Please visit our website for further information on supported and non-supported costs.
