schools activity
The new AUSTAR for schools program offers regional schools and communities a way to engage with AUSTAR personalities in local situations.
AUSTAR for schools is all about our dedication to regional Australia. Kids are our future and AUSTAR for schools is our way of giving back to regional Australians and providing a service that children can benefit from.
This month AUSTAR and FOX SPORTS will be bringing world class football training clinics to children in regional NSW schools. Professional coaches from Football Development Australia will be visiting schools in Albury, Wagga Wagga and Griffith and encouraging children to get active and involved in team sports, promoting a healthy active lifestyle, football and teamwork skills.
AUSTAR for schools will present each school visited with a $2000 grant upon completion of the clinic. This grant is to be used by the school for sporting resources for the students.
