Wellington Softball Association are very excited to announce that Wellington City Council have jumped on board to provide us with funding for the upcoming Regional U19 Tournament through the Sports Events Partnership Fund.

The Sports Event Partnership Fund has been established to support mid-tier sport and recreation events that contribute to Wellington’s economy, support the development of clubs and sport and recreation bodies, promote participation in sport and active recreation, and showcase Wellington as a vibrant sport and recreation destination.

The objective of the fund is to:

• deliver economic benefit to Wellington City
• increase utilisation of the Council managed sports facilities
• promote and encourage participation and active, healthy lifestyles
• inspire city vibrancy, pride and provide an opportunity to showcase Wellington
• support the development of clubs and sport and recreation organisations
• support sport talent development
• support emerging sports as well as traditional, established sports.

WSA would like to take the chance to thank Wellington City Council for their support. This funding will go a long way to ensuring everyone involved in the tournament has a great experience.
