How we reported this
The 2025 Central Coast Youth Week Awards named Chloe Karsten the Sportsperson Award winner, recognising her role among young people contributing to sports on the Central Coast.
Youth Week Awards and Local Talent
Chloe Karsten received the Sportsperson Award at the 2025 Central Coast Youth Week Awards in NSW. This recognition forms part of efforts to spotlight individuals making a difference in sports. Three Central Coast teenagers competed at the Australian Athletics Championships, demonstrating the level of youth athletic talent in the region. These outcomes provide a reference point for programs preparing athletes for coming seasons.
Central Coast Youth Football League All-Star Games
The Central Coast Youth Football League held its 2025 All-Star Games as a showcase of competitive youth football programming. The event brought together participants from local clubs and offered a platform for players to perform in a finals-style setting. Such games allow coaches and organisers to assess development needs as teams look toward the next round of fixtures and training cycles.
Girls Get Active and Flag Football Growth
Girls Get Active Central Coast events are run by the council to raise high-school female participation in sport. The Central Coast All-Stars flag football showdown in California featured alongside a reported 105 percent nationwide rise in girls' flag football participation from 2022 to 2024. These elements point to expanding opportunities for female athletes and the value of council-supported initiatives in building pathways.
Local clubs continue to use these 2025 results and participation trends to guide preparation for upcoming seasons. Athletes and teams can review performance data from the All-Star Games and championships to adjust training plans. Families interested in Girls Get Active Central Coast sessions or Central Coast Youth Football League activities should check council listings for registration details and schedules when they become available.
