Sports Central is proud to launch the Coaches and Leaders Circle, a dynamic new initiative dedicated to empowering, connecting and equipping female coaches and leaders across the Central Highlands. This is more than just a program, it’s a space for women in sport to come together, grow their confidence, develop leadership skills and spark real change within their clubs and communities.

Sports Central is proud to launch BASIC Clubs, a brand-new initiative designed to help local sporting clubs across the Central Highlands become more inclusive, accessible and welcoming for people of all backgrounds and abilities. Whether your club is just starting its inclusion journey or already making great strides, BASIC Clubs provides the tools, resources and tailored support needed to create a safer, more respectful environment where everyone feels they belong.

Dylan Alcott Foundation grants are available year-round, helping young Australians living with a disability overcome barriers of entry to sport, gain confidence and achieve their dreams. If you’re 26 years old or younger, live with a disability, and are an Australian citizen or permanent resident, you may be eligible to apply for a grant to help achieve your sporting goals!

Sports Central, in partnership with the Victorian Government, Sports Focus and Mt Alexander Falcons Women’s Sports Club, is offering two free Equal the Contest Workshops for clubs in the Central Highlands. Following the success of the groundbreaking documentary Equal the Contest, a new workshop has been developed as a pilot program for community sports clubs.
