I spent a few days considering what project I could undertake.\u00a0 As it turns out, my volunteer hours were spent on a few separate projects:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Club shirts\u00a0(approximately 20 hours)<\/li>\n<li>Coaching clinics\u00a0(approximately 20 hours)<\/li>\n<li>Working bees (approximately 5 hours)<\/li>\n<li>Helping the Junior Convenor (approximately 5 hours)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The main project that I decided to undertake was to obtain club t-shirts. Since my club didn\u2019t have club t-shirts, and we had often talked about them, I decided I would apply for a grant to help fund them. Danielle Russom from Tennis Victoria pointed me towards a grant program run by the Victorian Government.<\/p>\n<p>I researched the Sporting Uniforms Grant Program and the cost of club shirts including logo and sources for obtaining them, which had to be included in the application. I then approached the club for permission to apply and I prepared and sent in the application for the grant to the <em>Minister for Sport, Recreation and Youth Affairs.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>I had a sense of pride when the club was approved an allocation of funding to purchase club t-shirts for the juniors. The notice of approval for the grant came through on the 29\/10\/2010. \u00a0The grant was for $1000 dollars which was the highest possible grant and allowed the club to purchase t-shirts for all junior club representatives playing competition.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>This was great for the club as all juniors were given a free t-shirt, allowing them to look more unified and properly attired.<\/p>\n<p>The other projects that I performed at the club included helping out our club coach with coaching clinics over the holidays, attending working bees and helping out our Junior Convener, which improved my skills in a variety of different areas.<\/p>\n<p>It was a great opportunity to give back to the club and get involved in activities that will help the club grow and prosper in the future.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I attended Tennis Victoria\u2019s Future Leaders Program last year and after the camp finished I headed back to the Boronia Tennis Club, as part of the requirements of the program, to perform different volunteer roles.
