Kaniva College and Stawell’s Skene Street school received donations of footballs and netballs from Horsham District Football Netball League last week.

Aiming to support physical education programs, encourage active lifestyles, and strengthen the connection between schools and community clubs, the league’s donation also ensures students of all ages have access to quality sporting gear.

League chair Steve Hoffmann said the donation reflected the league’s broader vision for inclusive participation and long-term growth.

“Our clubs are built on the energy and enthusiasm of young people,” he said.

“By investing in school sport, we’re investing in the future of our league and the wellbeing of our communities.”

Mr Hoffmann said the donation was part of HDFNL’s continued efforts to foster junior development pathways and ensure every child had the opportunity to engage in sport, build friendships, and develop leadership skills through play. 

“We have done this for three years in a row, demonstrating our ongoing commitment to supporting local schools and communities,” he said.
