Game On Partnerships will support projects that align with Game On: Getting South Australians moving by addressing issues and barriers and/or capitalising on opportunities.
Projects that incorporate innovative solutions and leverage partnerships with multiple organisations to build system resilience or capacity, adapt activities to attract new participants or improve the reach and provide scalability are more likely to be successful.
Game On: Getting South Australia moving is a forward-looking agenda to guide everyone involved in sport and recreation to create environments and opportunities to build a more active South Australia. The intention of Game On Partnerships is to support the achievement of Game On: Getting South Australians moving targets through projects that contribute to the following Game On: Getting South Australians moving issues and opportunities:
Game On: Getting South Australians moving issue | Game On: Getting South Australians moving opportunity |
---|---|
Being time poor and having competing priorities | Lifelong physical activity – making it an easy non-negotiable social norm |
Enabling places for active transport | Growth in active transport – improving accessibility, connectivity or safety |
A lack of physical literacy is leading to inactive children and youth | Active young people – where physical activity and physical literacy is valued, accessible and supported by the community |
Cost of participating in sport and recreation | Affordable sport and recreation opportunities – so anyone, anywhere can access affordable activities |
Cost of delivery in sport and recreation | Sustainable sport and recreation sector – strategic initiatives that address systemic issues relating to the cost of delivering activities |
Attracting, recruiting, training, and retaining volunteers | More and better trained volunteers – so volunteers, organisations and participants get the most out of their experience |
Performance Pathway Partnerships will support State Sporting Organisations to develop and operate their performance pathways so that South Australian high-performance athletes can achieve their potential in Olympic, Paralympic, or Commonwealth Games sports.
This will be achieved by developing initiatives, projects and programs to improve the quality of the daily training environment provided to South Australian athletes resulting in more of our athletes being nationally identified and categorised by their National Sports Organisation.
