Whole of Sport Grant – new category enabling sports to make strategic decisions to allocate resources to support high performance or participation priorities. Transition funding - provides support for the sport to continue to deliver programs over the short term. If the sport cannot demonstrate an enhanced likelihood of international success over the next 12 months, funding will be set at the new Australia’s Winning Edge investment level. Australian Football League Investment allocation remains the same. Recognising the unique nature of the Australian Football League (AFL) as a high performance domestic competition, the former high performance grant becomes a whole of sport grant in 2013-14 to continue the AIS/AFL academy partnership. Australian Paralympic Committee and paralympic sports Investment allocation increases (14.1%) and 2013-14 will see the highest ever investment of high performance funding to support athletes with a disability in the Paralympic disciplines. This reflects the strong performance of Australia’s Paralympic Team finishing fifth in the past three Paralympic games. Investment in 2013-14 includes increased funding to athletics, basketball, cycling, rowing, sailing and swimming, with new Paralympic sports of canoeing and triathlon also receiving investment. Wheelchair rugby and winter sports have both received an increase of $150,000. Athletics Australia Investment allocation decreases (-3.8%). The ASC has strong expectations of Athletics Australia in relation to meeting the mandatory governance principles as set out earlier this year and will work with them to support achievement of the outcomes. The sport has made significant changes and remains one of the ASC’s biggest funded sports. Australian Baseball Federation Investment allocation decreases (-18.7%). The Australian Baseball Federation has been assessed as not having a strong case to contribute to Australia’s Winning Edge targets. Funding in 2013-14 is a whole of sport grant to enable the sport to allocate its resources to support its priorities. Opportunity to reassess in 12 months subject to IOC decision on sport’s inclusion on Olympic program in 2020. Basketball Australia Investment allocation has decreased on basis of performance case, with $200,000 transition funding provided to basketball to demonstrate an enhanced likelihood of international success with the men’s team. The investment provided to Basketball Australia recognises the ongoing success of the Opal’s women’s program at Olympic and world championship level. The ASC requires Basketball Australia to improve its governance in line with mandatory governance principles, to retain this level of investment. Australian Canoeing Investment allocation increases (17.4%). The ASC is investing additional support to canoeing, recognising their consistent multi-medal performances at Olympic and world championship level. Australian Canoeing also provided strong evidence towards its contribution to Australia’s Winning Edge targets in the future, with strong athlete performance profiles for medal success in Rio and beyond. Cricket Australia Investment allocation decreases by ~$90,000 per annum. The ASC recognises the important contribution that the professional codes, including cricket, make to Australian sport, however through various revenue streams, including broadcast rights, the professional codes have the capacity to self fund the majority of their high performance programs. Under the new investment approach, women’s cricket will now receive the same level of investment as men’s cricket an increase from $120,000 p.a. to $200,000 p.a. with men’s game through the Academy to receive similar. CA remains well supported by the ASC for participation outcomes. April 2013 ausport.gov.au Cycling Australia Investment allocation remains the same. Cycling Australia has a strong performance profile and capability to deliver on Australia’s Winning Edge targets in the Olympics, Commonwealth Games and world championships. The ASC requires Cycling Australia to improve its governance in line with mandatory governance principles, to retain this level of investment. The ASC expects Cycling Australia to implement the findings from the Wood Review as a matter of priority in 2013/14. Diving Australia Investment allocation increases (7.6%). The ASC believes that diving is well placed to deliver on Australia’s Winning Edge targets into the future at world championship, Olympic and Commonwealth Games level.

  • Badminton Introduction
    BADMINTON INTRODUCTION Badminton is a racquet sport played on a court either by two players or two opposing pairs. Instead of a ball, a shuttlecock is hit back and forwards. Speed, fast reactions, and stamina are all important if you want to be a successful player. The Net The net is made from cord with a mesh size of 15 to 20mm. It is tightly stretched to ensure that the top edge is horizontal and at the same height as the top of the posts supporting it. Scoring The aim of Badminton is to hit a shuttle, using a racquet, over the net onto the court area before the opposition player or pair can hit it back or to force the opposition into an error. The first player or pair to reach 15 points (11 points for women's singles) wins the game. After winning a point the same player serves again, and continues to serve as long as that player or team keeps winning points. If the non-serving team wins the rally, no point is scored but there is a change of server instead. HISTORY OF BADMINTON Badminton evolved from the ancient game of Battledore and Shuttlecock. It was named ‘Badminton’ after the home of the Duke of Beaufort in Gloucestershire where, in the mid nineteenth century, it was a pastime of the Duke's guests when driven indoors by bad weather. There are currently 146 nations in the World affiliated to the A Badminton racquet ruling body, the International Badminton Federation (IBF) from the late 1950s which was formed in 1934 with a total of nine member nations.

  • AIS and Black Dog Partner to Improve Mental Fitness in Young Australians
    AIS and Black Dog partner to improve mental fitness in young Australians 27th July 2020 EMBARGOED UNTIL 10AM MONDAY 27TH JULY 2020 Australian Olympic, Paralympic and Commonwealth Games athletes are joining the fight to help reduce rates of mental health issues in young children as part of a new community partnership between the Australian Institute of Sport (AIS) and Black Dog Institute. Designed to help young people manage their mental health and improve their general wellbeing, the Mental Fitness Program will see 27 current and former elite athletes assist in delivering mental wellbeing presentations, both in-person and online, at high schools throughout the country. Mental Fitness Program presenter and Commonwealth Games gold medal winning boxer Harry Garside said his personal experience with mental health education at school was a game-changer. “I wanted to get involved in the Mental Fitness Program because I know firsthand that these workshops can have a significant impact and change the course of a young person’s life,” said Mr Garside. “As an elite athlete, I want to role model behaviour that promotes self-care and positive psychology to help improve the wellbeing and resilience of young Australians.” In Australia, it is estimated that 1 in 5 people will experience symptoms of mental illness in any given year, and approximately 60% of those people won’t seek help. Over 75 per cent of mental health issues develop before the age of 25 which shows the importance of tackling the subject from an early age. Black Dog Institute Director and Chief Scientist Helen Christensen said the ability to bring sport and community together to teach meaningful life skills was needed now more than ever.
