Caboolture Sports Club Rising Stars Fund

Overview

Caboolture Sports Club's Rising Star Program provides financial assistance to local sportspeople selected for representation in their chosen sport. Rising Stars can be athletes, coaches or officials. It's our way of helping the next generation of sporting stars! At Caboolture Sports Club, we understand that the costs required to compete in representative sport can quickly pile up, so let us lend a helping hand. Online applications are always open and are assessed monthly.
