With less than 50 days to go until the 2024 Paris Olympics, now is the time to prepare your Club, Association and broader membership community to get involved, cheer on our Aussie team members and engage with potential new members.

There are several ways your organisation can be involved in celebrating the Olympics and also prepare for the expected spike in participation post Paris 2024. Read on to find out more.

Club Watch Parties

In support of our Olympic sailors, clubs around the country are planning and registering to host official Watch Parties with the support of Olympics LIVE.

An Australian Olympic Committee initiative, Olympics LIVE provides Australian communities with the opportunity to gather in-person or virtually to watch the Olympic and Paralympic Games on Nine and share the spirit of the Games.

Club Competition (Coming Soon)

Australian Sailing and the Australian Sailing Team will soon be announcing an exclusive competition for clubs and associations, and with once in a lifetime prizes on offer, we look forward to receiving entries from around Australia.

Make sure you’re following Australian Sailing and the Australian Sailing Team on social media and regularly checking our website so you don’t miss out!

Prepare for Participation

Participation in Olympic sports is expected to rise after Paris 2024, and now is the time to ensure your club or association is equipped for increased interest and sign ups.

There are several quick and easy ways to prepare, including adding all Discover Sailing Courses to RevSport so they are able to be found by people and families who are new to the sport. Your club or association may also choose to set up an Expression of Interest form on RevSport to ensure that you are adequately providing for the type or level of demand.

Have a Go Campaign

The #HaveAGo campaign is about inspiring Australians of all ages to start playing Olympic sports, or to get back involved in the sport they love.

To ignite the Olympic spirit at your club or encourage your members to do so at home, visit the Australian Olympic Committee website for more information.
