Play On! Sports Vouchers: How Broadbeach Robina families can save $200 on cricket this season
If you’ve been thinking about getting your child into cricket at Broadbeach Robina Cricket Club (BRCC) — or keeping them playing without the budget stress — the new Play On! Sports Vouchers program from the Queensland Government is a huge win. It’s designed to reduce the upfront cost of sport for families and help kids aged 5–17 stay active, connected, and confident in their local community clubs. Each eligible child can access up to $200 to put toward approved sporting costs, including club membership and weekly game fees.
Below is a simple guide to how the vouchers work, the key dates to know, and how to use them with our club’s junior cricket programs.
What are Play On! Sports Vouchers?
Play On! Sports Vouchers are a Queensland Government initiative to help more young people participate in organised physical activity. By reducing the financial barrier to entry, the program aims to get more kids into community sport — trying new activities, making friends, and building healthy habits that last. Vouchers can be used for membership or participation costs (think: weekly game fees, coaching, facility access and eligible events).
Who is eligible?
-
Children aged 5–17 (inclusive) who live in Queensland.
-
Limit: one voucher per child per financial year.
-
Vouchers will be released in two rounds across the year (to suit both summer and winter sports).
-
There’s also a dedicated allocation for regional and remote families, and the program supports more accessible sports so kids of all abilities can take part.

Using your voucher with Broadbeach Robina Cricket Club
Our club is all about community, fun, and development — from Cricket Blast programs through to junior cricket pathways. Here’s how a Play On! voucher typically fits with club fees and activities:
-
Membership or participation fees: Apply your voucher to reduce the season’s upfront cost.
-
Weekly game fees or coaching: Where applicable, your voucher can help offset ongoing participation costs.
-
Facility access or approved events: If these are part of our program offering, your voucher may contribute toward them.
Because every family’s setup is a little different (age group, program type, timing), the fastest way to lock it in is to get in touch with our junior coordinators. We’ll confirm the exact fees your voucher can cover and make sure the redemption process is smooth and stress-free. (Remember: the voucher must be presented to an eligible activity provider by 19 June 2026.)

Why Play On! matters for our club and our kids
-
Lower cost of entry. Cricket is an incredible sport for building resilience, teamwork and confidence — but costs can add up. A $200 boost makes a real difference for families.

-
More kids, more community. When more children get involved, it strengthens team depth, keeps competitions vibrant, and enhances the club’s social fabric.
-
Pathways for everyone. Cricket offers roles for all skill levels and abilities — batting, bowling, keeping, fielding — plus non-playing roles like scoring and managing. The voucher program explicitly encourages inclusive participation.
