Hockey Program
Hockey Scholarship Program
The Program
The South West Sydney Academy of Sport (SWSAS) implements high performance programs for talent identified athletes from South Western Sydney across a number of sports. The academy implements a hockey program in association with Hockey NSW. The focus of the program is on high standards of individual performance and excellence based on a solid platform of skill development. The program is a link in the Hockey NSW development pathway, linking club athletes to state and national programs.
The SWSAS program is very aware of the attributes required for hockey athletes to progress on this pathway. We are very proud of the fact that every year; Academy athletes gain selection into the Hockey NSW AAP program. Six players have successfully made this transition from our program in the last 2 years alone.
