Canterbury Junior Rugby League Subsidy Alleviating Costs to Families

Families in the Canterbury-Bankstown Local Government Area can now breathe a sigh of relief, thanks to the new Canterbury League Club sports subsidy program. In a collaborative effort with the Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs Rugby League Club, this initiative aims to ease the financial burden on families with children participating in grassroots junior rugby league.

The 2024 Canterbury is designed to cover team registration fees up to $100 per child for those who meet the age criteria, ranging from Under 5s to Under 13s within the Canterbury-Bankstown Junior Rugby League district. This subsidy is a significant step toward making sports accessible to all children in the area, irrespective of their family's financial situation.

"We wanted to remove obstacles preventing children from participating in grassroots rugby league in our local area, especially considering the costs of living have shot up dramatically these past few years," said Peter Winchester, Chairman of Canterbury League Club. This thoughtful initiative ensures that more children can enjoy the benefits of participating in sports, learning essential values such as teamwork, leadership, and inclusivity.

The response to this year's program has been overwhelmingly positive, with 1,687 eligible kids signing up, marking an increase from last year's participation numbers. "It is fantastic to see more children participating in sports – and learning the values of teamwork, leadership, and inclusivity. We hope to welcome even more kids to the program in the coming years," Peter added.
