Challenge Achievement and Pathways in Sport

The Active Australia CAPS program is a leadership development initiative. It offers young people aged between 14 and 20 years of age in any sport opportunities to develop valuable leadership qualities and proficiency through sport and physical activity.

The CAPS program offers young people the opportunity to learn new skills and provide a community service by participating in four or more of the following activity areas:

ü        Administration

ü        Officiating (i.e. judging / refereeing / umpiring )

ü        Coaching

ü        Event/team management

ü        Sport health

ü        Participation

ü        Sportsfun and other Active Australia leadership programs

Participants combine these activities to work through the three steps in the program. Each requires a number of hours of service to progress to the next step.

Entry to CAPS is free, however participants may incur some costs if they select to attend courses and workshops to complete an activity.

The LAANSW is an official provider of the CAPS program. Becoming involved is easy.

Anyone interested should first obtain a CAPS information booklet from LAANSW or their local Centre, to become fully familiarised with the program.

Each participant is then required to identify and enlist the help of a “co-ordinator” to guide them through the program.

The co-ordinator will be an interested person who is enthusiastic and willing to spend some time with the participant on a regular basis.

They do not need to be a skilled or accredited person.

The participant then sends a completed CAPS registration form to NSW Sport and Recreation, who registers the participant and forwards all relevant information.
