IV Coach Application


IV Coach

MU Sport remains committed to supporting student‑athletes and ensuring a high‑quality representative experience. Due to the expected high cost of the event, MU Sport will prioritise funding toward student‑athlete support rather than coaches in 2026.

Coaches may still attend Uni Nationals; however, most positions will be self‑funded or supported by affiliated sporting clubs. MU Sport may fund a limited number of coaching positions that directly contribute to the University’s performance objectives.

Achieving a top‑8 position. (This assumes a 16+ team competition; if fewer teams participate, a top‑50% finish should be used instead.)

Accommodation

Accommodation

MUSport have been able to find alternative acccommodation to what was previously advertised, in an attempt to reduce the costs of the stay for student athletes. We have been able to secure accommodation for 160 beds, including breakfast for $120.00 a night for upto 6 nights depending on the length of your competition.

MUSport will also be supporting student athletes in 2026, with a one night subsidy for all athletes. This will reduce the accommodation package from $720 to $600 for a 6 night stary.

We have three hotels.

  • Broadwater Resort Como
  • King Park Motel. - $250 for 2 nights stay (Martial Arts)
  • Metro Hotel South Perth

All athletes who register for the event are required to stay at the acccommdation provided by Melbourne University Sport.

Flights

Flights

You will all be aware of the situation in the Middle East, which in turn has inflated the costs of flights world wide due to increase oil and petrol costs. Flights to Perth will be around $200-300 more exspensive than usual. The earlier you book will ensure the best price for your flight, as prices are unlikely to decrease in cost.

Some of you may wish to travel on the Saturday and find yourself one nights accommodation and cheaper flights, which may be cheaper than flying on the Sunday.
