About RAS

Regional Academies of Sport (RAS) is a network of nine academies that identify, develop and empower emerging athletes to achieve their dreams in sport and life.

We deliver holistic high-performance programs aligned with state and national sporting pathways, supporting athletes to progress and reach their full potential.

All Academies

Our Role

We bridge the gap between grassroots sport and elite performance.

Working with State Sporting Organisations (SSOs), Government and pathway partners, we align our programs to recognised pathways and support athletes at the right stage of their development.

Each Academy operates locally in their region, backed by a connected RAS network that ensures consistency and quality across all regions.

What We Do

We run structured programs that support athletes through the talent development stage.

Programs are delivered in partnership with State Sporting Organisations (SSOs) and aligned to pathway models.

Across the RAS network, we provide:

  • Sport-specific training aligned with pathway programs
  • Experienced and accredited coaches
  • Education across performance, wellbeing and personal development
  • Competition opportunities for development and benchmarking
  • Exposure to high-performance environments
