More information on the grant itself can be found on the ASC’s website: https://www.ausport.gov.au/schools. I have also attached a guide for connecting with schools that you may like to use to introduce Ping Pong Play to schools and teachers. More information on Ping Pong Play is available here: https://www.tabletennis.org.au/ping-pong-play/schools-and-facilitators- and here: https://www.ausport.gov.au/schools/schools/sports/table_tennis.

Please don’t hesitate to get in touch if you would like more help or information on Ping Pong Play or how to go about reaching out to schools.

Have a great day!

Best,
