Bingara Gorge Settles in for Year Ahead

Written on the 10 March 2025 by SWSAS

We are pleased to announce that Bingara Gorge | Metro has continued their partnership with the South West Sydney Academy of Sport, as the program partner of the Academy Netball and Netball Umpires Program for a fourth consecutive year.

Through Bingara Gorge | Metro's ongoing support, the Academy is able to provide high-performance pathways for 30 athletes, 7 umpires and 8 coaches and support staff. This partnership helps foster talent and develop future netball stars through elite training, sports education and strength and conditioning programs.

In 2025, the Academy's Bingara Gorge Netball Program will take part in the Regional Academies Pathway Camp in March, the ClubsNSW Regional Academy Games in Tamworth in April and the Regional Academy’s Netball Challenge in the Illawarra in September.

As a part of the sponsorship announcement, several lucky athletes had the opportunity to participate in a photo shoot with Jeff Atkinson, Bingara Gorge Property Director, under the direction of renowned photographer Luke Fuda.

A great afternoon was held by all who attended, and despite a rather untimely thunderstorm, the athletes looked amazing.

The photo shoot also providing a great opportunity to not just showcase the partnership between Bingara Gorge and the Academy Netball program, but provide the athletes an opportunity to shine under a different spotlight.

Included in the shoot was a meet and greet with Jeff, where athletes were able to share their background within the sport, and gain an insight and education into media opportunities that may present themselves in the future.

Be sure to check out the next edition of our e-news 'Time Out' later this month for the behind the scenes photos of the day.
