Option 2: When You Register Online

The voucher information will be included in the online registration. You do not need a paper form.

Your child gets $200 each year. The vouchers for 2026 must be used by the 31st of December 2026.

Sport is good for your mind!

Sport is good for confidence! 

Children that play sport usually have better self-esteem.

Clothing:
You can wear clothes that feel comfortable for you. For girls who want modest options you can find:
  • Long-sleeve sports tops or long sleeves worn under the uniform
  • Sports hijabs
  • Loose pants or leggings worn under the uniform
Many shops sell these. You can talk to the club about what clothing is ok for your child.

Your Culture is Welcome
Clubs should respect your culture and clothing. Sport is for everyone. You can also share your culture with other families at club events – through food, language, or traditional games.
