Shepparton Blasters Football Club is a community-based club providing cost-effective football programs to children aged 4–12 years in the Shepparton region. Our junior players come from culturally diverse and often disadvantaged backgrounds. For many of them, football is more than just a sport—it’s a pathway to confidence, friendships, and healthier lifestyles.

In 2025 - 26, we are aiming to raise $50,000 through the Australian Sports Foundation to fund the hiring of qualified and experienced coaches who can deliver structured, age-appropriate, and engaging training sessions. This project will directly benefit 125 local children, many of whom would not otherwise have access to organised sport.

Your donation will help us to:

• Pay experienced coaches to lead weekly training sessions
• Deliver a consistent, high-quality training experience
• Purchase essential training equipment and gear
• Reduce the financial burden on families
• Create a safe, inclusive, and empowering environment for all children

Why We Need Your Support – Bridging the Gap:

• Bridge the gap between regional and metropolitan teams by providing our children with access to high-quality coaching and development pathways.
• Empower more girls to participate by creating a safe, inclusive environment with role models and tailored programmes that support their growth.
• Ensure coaching equality so that children in Shepparton receive the same standard of training and opportunities as those in major cities.
• Support multicultural and low-income families, ensuring that cost is never a barrier to participation.
• Invest in early engagement to cultivate lifelong habits of health, teamwork, and resilience.

This initiative is about more than football—it’s about building strong kids, strong families, and a connected regional community. Every donation, no matter the size, will have a direct and lasting impact on a child’s life.

All donations over $2 are fully tax-deductible. So please show your support by donating today!
