Quality training

The level of specialist training offered by the South West Academy of Sport provides a pathway for athletes aspiring to elite levels of competition.

SWAS operates in synergy with the Western Australian Institute of Sport (WAIS) and the Australian Institute of Sport (AIS).

The Academy will not only provide skills training by top level coaching staff, but education in sports injury prevention and maintenance, health and fitness, and general life skills such as career advice and motivation.

Support for families

In the past the challenge for regional athletes and their families has been the need to frequently travel to Perth for the best training opportunities.

The South West Academy of Sport helps to overcome this challenge by providing specialist coaches and training programs within the region.

This is invaluable for up-and-coming young athletes (aged 12 to 18 years) who benefit greatly from the stability of developing their talent locally.
