The stations will be facilitated by specialised coaches with the support of students and community organisations.

Families can use vouchers for eligible membership and registration fees, helping reduce financial barriers and support participation in community sport.
Sports Central is partnering with VicHealth and Regional Sport Victoria to Set the Standard across the Central Highlands. The initiative connects coaches and club leaders with practical resources and subsidised anti-racism training, helping sporting clubs prevent and respond to racism while creating healthier, welcoming and culturally safe environments for everyone.
