Emerging

Athletes

Regional Academies of Sport (RAS) identify, develop and empower emerging athletes across regional communities, ensuring that where an athlete lives does not limit how far they can go in sport and life.

RAS is a network of 9 academies, delivering locally based high-performance support and holistic development programs that bridge the gap between grassroots sport and progression into state and national pathways.
