Sports in Reserves program to run for another two years

The City of Marion’s popular Sports in Reserves Program is continuing for another two years with Council Members last week endorsing $30,000 per annum in funding.

The program, known as On@CoM, is designed to encourage school-aged children and young people aged five to 18 years to be active in their community, particularly in Council reserves, parks and facilities.

A pilot program was undertaken in 2021 and last year the Council decided to continue the initiative for another 18 months.

“Last year On@CoM delivered 64 programs, covering 24 different sports and recreational activities for 1,838 attendees,” Mayor of Marion Kris Hanna said.

“The program is delivered between February and December and offers mainstream and non-mainstream sports from tennis, athletics, and basketball to chess, skateboarding and mountain bike riding.”
