TKT Ocean Beach Netball Club is set to take the volunteer-run sporting organisation to the next level thanks to a $2,000 grant from the Greater Bank’s #GreaterCentralCoast Community Funding Program.
Club President Michelle Giaquinto said the funding would help the club grow, while keeping fees down.
“This funding is going to assist our club immensely,” she said.
“Netball fees are expensive, and we want families to be able to afford the sport their child wants to play.
“Throughout the year we rely on sponsors and grants to buy equipment, train coaches and umpires and buy awards for the end of year celebrations.
“We are a volunteer-run organisation with over 100 members but not as big as other clubs who compete under Woy Woy Peninsula Netball Association, and we will utilise the funding to grow our club.
“Using publicity and building a website would be useful.
“Growing our Club from 11 teams to 15 or 20 would be an amazing achievement and an exciting prospect.”
TKT Ocean Beach Netball Club is a grassroots sporting organisation offering netball for women and children on the Central Coast under the Woy Woy Peninsula Netball Association.
The club promotes a fun, family-friendly environment where people come together to enjoy netball in their community.
Greater Bank’s #GreaterCentralCoast Community Funding Program has now given away more than $100,000 to support more than 100 community organisations across the Central Coast region.
Runners-up in the most recent round of funding were Bateau Bay Neighbourhood Centre and Dora Creek Rural Fire Brigade, each receiving $500.
The September round sees a further $3,000 on offer to monthly nominees: Woy Woy Public School P&C Association, Better Hearing Australia Central Coast and Aruma.
The public online vote is open until 5pm on Wednesday, September 27.
