About RAS
Regional Academies of Sport (RAS) is a network of nine academies identifying, developing and empowering emerging athletes in regional communities.
We deliver high-performance programs aligned with state and national sporting pathways, supporting athletes to progress and reach their full potential.
Our Role
We bridge the gap between grassroots sport and elite performance.
Working with State Sporting Organisations and pathway partners, we align our programs to recognised pathways and support athletes at the right stage of their development.
Each academy operates locally, backed by a connected 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 and aligned to pathway models.
Across the 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
