SWSAS has a close relationship with NSWIS and it never more apparent than this program. Our program not only develops athletes, but aims to develop other regional coaches by inviting them to participate in the sessions the Academy runs so that the sport of Athletics as a whole benefits.
Our athletes are selected based on the achievement of qualification for Australian All Schools or the Australian Youth Championships. Nominations and selections are made in February in preparation for the program which runs from March to December each year.
Using the resources of NSWIS and a strong partnership with Athletics NSW, we include advanced education on training principles, techniques etc. which again compliment the educational standards delivered as with all of the other sport programs conducted by the Academy. The objective of the Academy is to have our athletes achieve selection in the World Junior (Under 20) Championships.
2007 will see the inclusion of a Regional Coach Education Program implemented in Athletics, with athletes individual coaches invited to undertake a Coach Education Scholarship within the Athletics program.
