Hi everyone,

I’m not sure if you remember last year I sent an email about government grants available for any women who would like to teach or be a leader in their given sport. well the grant is open again for applicants. Out of the 74 applicants accepted Lilly and i were included. This is just one way our sport can become more recognised by the government. Below is the information i gave last year. the application would also be open for you to do a judging course if you like or any other ideas you may have in leadership roles for the sport. Lilly and i are happy to write a recommendation from the WBA to go with your application.

To become an accredited coach you need to complete these:

*Current Ocean Safety Surf Coach Award (OSSCA) gained through APOLA
