Coaches play a critical role
in the experience of young athletes and this national funding
initiative will strengthen their impact and contribute to
the success of sport clubs throughout the country.
One hundred grants of $2,000 each will be awarded each year
to allow sport clubs/local sport associations to host coach
training and education activities in support of community
sport programs. There will be two application deadlines annually:
February and September. There will be up to 50 grants for
each application wave.
Funding for the 2011 Club Coaching and High Performance Coach Grants have not been confirmed by Chevrolet and CAC.
