In addition to the support provided for youth players (players under 19 years of age) the TUA also supports developing players. This includes support and encouragement for promising early career players to attend regional championships or targeted National Development Camps. A similar program and application process to that used for youth players is also in place for Tasmanian players over 18 years of age who would like financial support to either play with a Tasmanian team or attend a major nationals development camp.
If you know of an event coming up and would like to apply for financial support from the TUA, please contact one of the TUA committee members.
The TUA has supported a number of promising Tasmanian players to attend interstate events. The following table summarises the recipients of TUA Development Grants awarded to players over 18 years to date.
