5 sports will be offered as part of the Come and Try event including soccer, hockey, netball, cricket and AFL football.

The project aims to increase participation by offering assistance to students to register and participate in one of the sports offered at the Come and Try event.

This project has been funded under the Australian Sports Commission Play Well Participation grant program, which is one of the first initiatives to be delivered from Play Well - Australia’s Sport Participation Strategy, which aims to ensure everyone has a place in sport.

The Play Well - Australia’s Sport Participation Strategy is designed to change the way participation in sport is connected, delivered and supported across Australian communities.
