Regional Academies of Sport
SCROLL DOWN FOR THE LINKS TO APPLY FOR INDIVIDUAL ACADEMY PROGRAMS.
Triathlon NSW works in partnership with the NSW Regional Academies of Sport to offer a parallel program in Tier 1 of our three-tiered pathway model. We are fortunate to partner with 6 regional academies by way of a Memorandum of Understanding to identify new talent and nurture existing talent. We are seeing great success in a model that encourages our Youth-aged athletes to continue a seasonal and multiple sport model: ‘Do Triathlon, don’t be a Triathlete’. We want our Youth to develop essential skills including their physical literacy and strong motor patterns. It's difficult to do this if training exclusively in a linear-driven sport like Triathlon, despite it being a multi sport at its core, unless we have programs through our NSW Regional Academy network.
Applications for the 2023/24 squads have now closed.See below for each Academy's triathlon program.
