Thank you to Cleanaway for their support of kids in western Melbourne communities, who now get to play team sport.

They’re giving them a chance to make new friends, connect with positive role models and play the games they’ve wanted to be part of but never had the opportunity.
Thank you.

We had the pleasure of presenting the TeamSports4All SMJFL Inclusion Award to St Kilda City JFC at the recent SMJFL Awards night!
The club is so inclusive in everything they do plus they hosted our SMJFL TS4A sock round packing day for the second year in a row. Our TS4A families who play at St Kilda City tell us they love the club and always feel welcomed.
Congratulations Tim, Katie and everyone at St Kilda City JFC! 👏🏆

A huge turnout today to honour Lachie McLaren. The walk brought the community together and also raises money for TeamSports4All and Fusion. It was an honour to be such a special part of this important day, that remembers a brave 16 year old who 5 years ago died stopping his girlfriend being hit by a car driven by a drug driver. Thank you Carey and Michelle for enabling local disadvantaged children to play the game that Lachie loved, and enabling Lachie’s legacy to continue this way. ❤️🏀❤️

Today we celebrate National Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Children's Day. This year's theme, Living Our Truth, honours the stories, knowledge and identity that Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children carry forward, passed down through Elders, family and community.

At TeamSports4All, we see every day what it means for a child to feel like they belong, to a team, a community, a story bigger than themselves, which is what National Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Children's Day is all about.

We're proud to stand alongside SNAICC and communities across the country in celebrating the strength, pride and potential of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children, as we believe that every child deserves the life-changing benefits of team sports.

Lachie's Walk is back on Sunday 9 August, and TeamSports4All is very proud to again be one of this year's beneficiaries.

Thanks to the Lachlan McLaren Foundation's support in 2025, we were able to help 31 local teenagers facing financial hardship play the sport they love. Being connected to a sporting club means friendships, confidence and a sense of belonging that lasts well beyond the season.

One family recently told us what that support meant to them “Thank you for all your support. You are what helped our son graduate and keep to a better crowd of friends. I will forever be grateful to Team Sports 4 All”

Every step of Lachie's Walk this year helps make that possible for more local kids.

Come join us!

Thank you to SouthernFM for hosting TeamSports4All Director Fiona Gathercole yesterday, in conversation with Sandringham Lions Club President Lee Murray.
It's an awesome segment where Fiona talks about the amazing journey from TS4A's origins in 2011 to today, where we now help over 1,200 children connect into their community through team sport.
We'd also like to thank the Sandringham Lions Club for running the BBQ last weekend during the SMJFL Socks round, which helped raise valuable funds for TS4A.
Support like this, given generously by community groups, is what allows us to reach more people with our cause and helps kids facing financial disadvantage to stay connected to the game and the friendships that come with it.
You can listen to the conversation here, with Fiona's segment starting at 21m20s: Link below and in our Bio (click on LinkTree)
