Coaches and Clubs benefit from scholarship funding
Kent Sport has awarded 18 individuals scholarship funding to support development in their chosen sports.
Nominations were submitted by regional NGB officers, local clubs and also local district councils following a change to the application process. This resulted in an increase of applications, up by more than 30% from the previous round back in February. The sports to benefit include Cycling, Squash, Gymnastics, Athletics, Boxing, Basketball and Tennis.
Specific clubs that have coaches who benefitted include Dartford Trampoline Club, Broadstairs and St Peters LTC and the Weald of Kent Gymnastics Club. Funding is only paid out upon completion of the opportunity and a further round will be held in March 2012 for opportunities starting 1 April 2012 onwards.
