North Sydney Bears Receive Sports Grant for Coach Accreditation

Ms FELICITY WILSON (North Shore)

—Today I congratulate the North Sydney District Rugby League Football Club for their success in receiving funding through the 2020-2021 Local Sport Grant Program. This funding will allow the club to provide coach accreditation, which will equip trainers with a high level of knowledge and skills to benefit members and increase participation. Also known as the Mighty Bears, the club has been a vital part of the North Sydney rugby community by continuing to invest in younger players and helping support the junior leagues. It is excellent to see teams of people, young and old, take to the field again following the more challenging times of COVID-19. Sport is a way of life in our community and the Local Sport Grant Program is another excellent example of the NSW Government delivering for our local area. Thank you to the volunteers who donate their time each week to make sure these recreation activities are available. Congratulations again to the North Sydney Bears for securing this funding.
