Developing Tomorrow’s Champions

Opportunity through sport

We’re giving junior athletes talent development opportunities in the region they call home – and its working. SWAS athletes can be seen excelling on state, national and international stages. Both when they’re in the academy and long after they’ve graduated. And that’s because our programs are designed to ensure aspiring sports men and women are set up for long and rewarding careers in sport. It’s about creating champions on and off the field, for today and tomorrow.

programs

The Academy aims to develop the talent of athletes in their chosen sport and educate them with life skills such as nutrition, fitness, injury prevention and career counselling to hold them in good stead for a future in sport.
