LINKS TO SPORTING GROUPS

The Academy operates within the sports system at several levels.  It maintains links with a range of organisations to ensure that the local talented athletes receive the best possible support in their path to excellence. Links are maintained with:


Local& State Sports Associations

Administrative and coaching links are maintained with local and State sporting associations in the scholarship sports that have programs in the Academy.

As the largest single partner of the Academy, there are close operational links with the Department with regular interaction with the South Coast Region and Senior officers of the Department.

Sydney Academy of Sport

Strong links exist between both Academies, in the areas of performance assessment, coach development.

The Illawarra Academy sports programs are structured to ensure the athletes have the greatest opportunity to feed into the NSW Institute of Sport programs (where appropriate) and a close relationship exists with the NSW Institute through its Sports Program Services Division.

NSW Regional Academy Network

The ten independent Regional Academies in NSW and one Department of Toursim, Sport & Recreation Academy maintain close links for competition and training throughout the year.

The links with the AIS were established when the Academy was formed in 1985. Academy athletes have the opportunity of gaining entry to the AIS and a number of Academy athletes have graduated into AIS programs.

The AOC is linked through the conduct of Drugs in Sport Education for athletes and their families.
