What is LOK Stöd ?
LOK Support (Local Activity Support) Explained Simply
For a club such as Västerås Cricket Club (VCC), LOK Support (Lokalt Aktivitetsstöd) is a government-funded grant that rewards sports clubs for organising activities for children and young people. The support is administered through the Swedish Sports Confederation (Riksidrottsförbundet, RF). [rf.se], [rfsisu.se]
In Simple Terms
Every time VCC conducts an approved training session, match, or youth activity and correctly records attendance, the club earns support that is later converted into funding from RF. [rf.se], [friidrott.se]
Who Can Receive LOK Support?
The club must:
- Be affiliated with a sports federation that belongs to the Swedish Sports Confederation (RF). For cricket, this is the Swedish Cricket Federation.
- Conduct activities for participants aged 6 to 25 years.
- Register activities and attendance digitally. [rf.se], [rfsisu.se]
What Activities Qualify?
An activity must generally:
- Last at least 60 minutes.
- Be led by at least one approved leader/coach.
- Have at least 3 participants in the eligible age range.
- Be properly recorded with participant and leader attendance. [friidrott.se]
- No duplication of members in different sessions being conducted at the same time; always include a trainer in a group; always report attendance for any activity where at least 3 members of the youth section participate.
Examples for VCC:
✅ Youth cricket training sessions (U11, U13, U15, U19)
✅ Cricket schools and beginner programs
✅ Indoor winter training sessions
✅ Youth development and educational activities
✅ Matches and league games that meet the eligibility requirements [friidrott.se], [rf.se]
How Does the Process Work?
1. Conduct the activity
2. The trainer or VCC authorised representative registers attendance in Svenskalag, which is synced with Idrottonline
3. Submit the Application - Applications are submitted twice per year:
| Activity Period | Application Deadline |
|---|---|
| January 1 – June 30 | August 25 |
| July 1 – December 31 | February 25 |
4. Receive the Payment
RF calculates the support based on the number of approved activities and participants and then pays the grant directly to the club. [rf.se], [rf.se]
Why does responding to training invitations matter at VCC?
Every Training Session Counts
At Västerås Cricket Club (VCC), every training session, match, and youth activity contributes to the club's eligibility for LOK Support, a government-funded grant that supports sports activities for children and young people aged 6-25. The level of activity reported by the club is used by the Swedish Sports Confederation (RF/RF-SISU) when assessing support to sports clubs. [rf.se], [rfsisu.se]
In addition, Västerås Stad provides support to sports clubs based on their youth activities and overall contribution to the local community. [vasteras.se]
Why Your Response Is Important
The activity reports submitted by VCC demonstrate the scale and impact of our youth cricket program. These reports help show:
- How many members actively participate in training and matches.
- How often activities are organised.
- The level of engagement within our club.
- The value VCC creates for children, youth, and the Västerås community.
This information influences the support and funding that VCC may receive from RF-SISU and Västerås Stad. [rf.se], [vasteras.se]
