ACTIVE AFTER-SCHOOL COMMUNITIES (AASC) program National Athletics participation report – 2011 - 2012 Prepared: 2012 By: Kym McMahon, NSO Liaison Manager Page 1 of 99 Background The Active After-school Communities (AASC) program has been delivering sport and physical activity programs to primary school aged children across Australia for more than seven years. Over the past few years, the program has had an increased focus to engage with local, state and national sporting bodies and develop strategies to promote continued participation in sport. This report provides a snapshot of quantitative data relevant to athletics programs during the 2011 - 2012 financial year. Each semester, schools and Outside School Hours Care (OSHC) services involved in the AASC program identify the sports and physical activities they would like delivered to the children participating within the program. The AASC program is committed to promoting Australian Sport Commission (ASC) participation funded and recognised sports for delivery. Figure one shows the percentage of AASC programs delivered by ASC funded and recognised sports, while figure two indicates the percentages of ASC participation funded sport programs delivered.

Of these 998 individuals, 183 individual coaches were linked to a sports club, so the assumption can be made that more than 150 links between local sporting clubs and schools or OSHCs were made.

Page 6 of 99 Transitions to sport At the beginning of 2012, the AASC program implemented database functionality to capture information on AASC program participants who have transitioned from the AASC program into community or school sport. Strategies to promote and transition children into continued participation in sport that have been effective include: The provision of club promotional and discount flyers to participating children and their families Club coaches mentoring other community coaches to enhance their ability to deliver sport programs Club coaches attending final AASC program sessions to promote links with local clubs The coordination of come and try or club registration events at local clubs at the end of the AASC program term. Appendix C outlines examples of ongoing participation in athletics during the 2011 – 2012 period. Summary The AASC program values the involvement of Athletics Australia, State and local athletics associations within the program and would like to further develop strategies to help increase participation in the sport of athletics. I welcome you to contact me to discuss ongoing opportunities for collaboration or to find local contacts within our AASC program staff network.
