Helping community sports clubs access the funding they deserve
Tiny Sports Limited is a not-for-profit organisation that helps Australian grassroots sports clubs and independent coaches navigate government grant programs, build their capacity, and grow their programs — so they can focus on what matters: the athletes.
The funding gap in grassroots sport
Government grants exist to support community sport — but most coaches and small clubs don't know they exist, don't meet the eligibility criteria as sole traders, or don't have the time or capacity to apply. Tiny Sports bridges that gap.
We act as the incorporated entity that applies on behalf of clubs and coaches — handling the paperwork, writing the applications, and managing the acquittal — so the funding gets to where it's needed.
How we help
Three core services for clubs and coaches at every stage.
Grant Writing & Submission
We identify the right grant programs for your situation, write the applications, and manage the submission and acquittal process end-to-end.
Eligibility & Setup
Many coaches and small clubs can't apply for grants directly as sole traders. We help structure your operations so funding is accessible.
Club Capacity Building
Governance, strategic planning, financial management, and compliance support — the foundations your club needs to grow sustainably.
Grant programs we work with
We currently focus on Victorian state government programs, with Queensland support coming soon.

Jarasport — Triathlon & Cycling Coaching, Victoria
Jarasport is an independent coaching program based in Victoria, specialising in triathlon, road cycling, and velodrome track cycling. Coach Simon has developed athletes at every level — from first-timers to competitors at ITU Triathlon World Championships.
The program offers structured training, personalised coaching, and a supportive community environment that brings together athletes of all abilities. Despite producing world-class results, Jarasport operates as a sole-trader business — meaning it was locked out of Sport & Recreation Victoria grant programs entirely.
Tiny Sports is partnering with Jarasport to submit applications under the 2025–26 SRV Sporting Club Grants Program. We're applying for equipment funding to improve athlete training resources, and participation funding to reduce cost barriers for new and developing athletes — grants that were previously completely out of reach.
