Kincumber Junior Rugby League Club has received $5,000 through the Federal Government’s Volunteer Grants program.
Committee Member Matthew McClean said with more than 560 players, the club would use the funds to help volunteers during weekly training and weekend games.
“Kincumber Colts has progressively grown, even during COVID-19, and the club is always welcoming of any new players,” he said.
“This season, we have 13 teams through to the finals out of a total of 36 teams.
“We are also celebrating our 40th anniversary in 2023, so this is a big year for our club.”
The money will be used to buy new iPads for canteen staff and to organise first aid training for club volunteers.
Federal Member for Robertson Gordon Reid announced the funding recently at Mary Mackillop Oval in Kincumber.
“Kincumber Junior Rugby League Club is one of the largest junior league clubs on the Central Coast,” he said.
“This financial support from the Federal Government will help the club in its daily operations and assist with its continued growth.
“Safety is a very important priority of any sporting club, and I am pleased that around 40-50 volunteers will train in how to provide first aid in an emergency.
“Canteen volunteers will improve point-of-sale transactions with the assistance of iPad technology, making transactions quicker, easier, and faster.”
