Applications for the 2025 FIR Development Fund are now open!
We would encourage our national federations to apply for this fund to help develop and grow Racketlon in their countries – it is also possible for clubs, coaches, tournament directors and individuals within your country to apply for funding (with the approval of their national federation) – so please also forward these details and application form to any clubs or people who might be interested to run any Racketlon development projects.
The FIR Development Fund has already funded some fantastic projects across 8 different countries over the last 18 months with some great results, particularly in junior development.
Federations, clubs or individuals who have previously received funding are allowed to now re-apply for further funding if they wish.
The Development Fund is looking to help projects which either:
Increase Racketlon Participation: for example (but not limited to) – introductory sessions / training days / local tournaments (with an emphasis on juniors and female participation particularly valued)
Increase Racketlon Awareness: for example (but not limited to) – online advertising campaigns, social media, influencers, promotional videos etc
Application Process:
The 2025 Application Form can be downloaded here: 2025 FIR Development Fund Application Form
All completed application forms need to be submitted to the Development Fund Committee: development.fund@racketlon.net by the end of 17th February 2025 (if anyone needs more time to complete their application then please contact the development fund committee on the email above to make arrangements).
The Development Fund Committee will then make a decision about which applications are successful and announce their decisions before 8th March 2025
All details about how the funding process will work with timelines can be found on the application form.
This is a great opportunity to help grow player numbers and the awareness of Racketlon in your country – the Development Fund Committee are excited to receive your ideas!
