🏅 Helping Young People Thrive in Sport

A big thank you to everyone who joined us for our two online workshops with registered sports psychologist Joel Curtis from Endeavour Wellness !

We had a fantastic turnout across both sessions, with coaches, parents and caregivers joining us to explore practical ways to better support young people throughout their sporting journey.

From building confidence and resilience to managing pressure, expectations and setbacks, Joel shared plenty of valuable insights and practical strategies that can make a real difference both on and off the field.

👏 Thank you to Joel for sharing his expertise, and to everyone who joined us and contributed to two great sessions!

We love getting out and sitting down with our local clubs and associations to understand their goals, work through the challenges and help put the right foundations in place for the future. 💪

Recently, our Project Officer Jess caught up with the Benalla Netball to talk all things governance and identify opportunities to strengthen their processes and support the association moving forward.

Good governance might happen behind the scenes, but it plays a huge role in building strong, sustainable clubs and associations that can continue delivering great opportunities for their members and the wider community.

We’re looking forward to working alongside the Benalla Netball over the coming months and seeing their plans come to life!

The committee has been working tirelessly in the background to strengthen our processes and all the fun things governance.

Part of this was meeting with Jess from Valley Sport. We are so excited to work with her over the coming months, improving what we have and incorporating what we don’t, allowing for everyone to reap the benefits of a stronger association.

A special thank you to the Benalla Bowls Club Inc for hosting this meeting, and for their regular accommodation of Benalla Netball Association committee meetings, and our upcoming AGM.

🌏 Happy International Youth Day!

Today we celebrate the young people in our communities - their ideas, achievements, contributions and the important role they play in shaping the future.

International Youth Day is also an opportunity to recognise the importance of creating spaces where young people feel connected, supported and empowered to get involved - something community sport can play a huge role in.

🎙️ To mark the day, we've released a special episode of From the Mountains to the Murray, shining a spotlight on young people and the opportunities available across our region.

This week, we take a closer look at Connecting Youth Expo '26, coming to the Shepparton Showgrounds on Saturday 5 September, and chat about how sporting clubs, community groups and organisations can help young people find their place, make connections and discover new opportunities.

Celebrate International Youth Day with us and have a listen:
