KiwiSport Investment – Expressions of Interest

KiwiSport is a government funding initiative administered by Sport Wellington to increase participation in sport for school-aged children. The 2015 – 2018 Wellington Regional Partnership Fund plan was recently approved by Sport NZ with the following identified priorities:

•Coaching – quality and quantity

•Quality intra and inter-school sport

•Skill development and confidence building

•Family and Community Engagement (particularly in low participation groups)

•Females (10 – 18 years)

Sport Wellington welcomes expressions of interest from organisations that can impact on the ‘Skill Development and Confidence Building’ priority.

Skill development can include the development of fundamental movement skills and/or basic sport skills where structured learning and development occurs.

The development of fundamental movement skills and basic sport skills means kids are more likely to have the competence and confidence to participate in sport.

Confidence building can be built into projects and initiatives by identifying the barriers to participation for the targeted participant and showing evidence of quality programming, planning and evaluation to address those confidence related barriers.

Secondary school research completed by Sport Wellington/College Sport Wellington in 2012 showed that there was a significant gender difference, with 28.8% of girls saying ‘lack of confidence’ was a barrier compared to 16% of boys. The same barrier had a similar outcome with non-participants (29.6%) vs. participants (17.3%).

Sport Wellington will expect an increasing consideration of physical literacy to be included in KiwiSport applications. In the context of children’s development, Physical Literacy describes the development of fundamental movement and fundamental sport skills in tandem with critical thinking and communication skills. Successful and rewarding participation in sport and physical activity, whether for enjoyment or competition, relies on the development of all four skill areas.

Expression of Interest Form (EOI)

All EOIs for this priority need to result in KiwiSport outcomes i.e. increased participation or better skills or more opportunities in organised sport. It is expected that EOIs have a large impact and deliver across either; various sports; multiple settings; or are regional in nature. We welcome projects where:

  • Specific emphasis is given to skill development such as fundamental movement skill delivery
  • Student barriers have been identified and new or expanded initiatives are being tried which address these barriers to improve ability and confidence levels
  • Low participation groups are targeted

Please complete the form below ensuring that the EOI is no larger than 2 pages when submitted by noon on Sunday 13 August 2017. An additional project plan can be submitted but is not necessary at this stage. An invitation to apply for funding and submit a full project plan (on a provided template) will be notified to successful EOI applicants.

All applicants will be contacted directly regarding the next stage in the EOI process by Monday 21 August 2017.
