Recipients of the Australian Government’s Local Sporting Champions Program were recently acknowledged at an awards presentation by Federal Member for Robertson Gordon Reid.
The program provides funding of up to $750 towards the cost of attending championships for coaches, officials and competitors aged 12-18.
Reid said in the Robertson electorate, 23 sporting champions had benefitted from Round 3 of the program, with grants provided through the Australian Institute of Sport.
“To be able to congratulate each recipient personally was a delight and I enjoyed learning more about the sports they are all involved in,” Reid said.
“I want to again congratulate each Round 3 recipient on their sporting achievements and wish them all the best in their sporting endeavours.
“I encourage local sporting families to visit the Local Sporting Champions website to see whether they might be eligible in future rounds.”
Among the recipients were Miles Greenwood, Emily Rose and Eleanor Shervington.
Greenwood, from Gosford Sailing Club, competed at the international 2022 Asian and Oceanian Optimist Championships in Mumbai, India.
Rose and Shervington, both from Avoca Beach Surf Lifesaving Club, competed at the national Australian Surf Lifesaving Titles – Aussies.
