Established in 1997, the South West Sydney Academy of Sport is a not-for-profit sporting organisation that provides endorsed localised training and development opportunities for talented young athletes, coaches and sport administrators in the South West Sydney region.

Regions like South West Sydney continue to produce world class sports men and women, and the Academy helps support the next generation of elite sports people to achieve their goals of reaching State, National and International levels of competition.

The Academy receives funding from the NSW and Local Governments; yet relies heavily on the support of its major business partners, community partners and the partners aligned with each of the sport programs, to enable it to further develop and ensure the best possible service is provided to each and every young athlete, coach and sport administrator who progress through the Academy.

At its core, the Academy is an organisation built on athletic excellence and youth, with the support of families and businesses within our South West Sydney community.
