Kidsport

 

Overview

KidSport will make it possible for Western Australian children to participate in community sport and recreation, no matter their financial circumstances.  KidSport will allow eligible youth aged 5-18 years to apply for financial assistance to contribute towards club fees. The fees will go directly to the registered KidSport clubs participating in the project through their participating local government.
