About HAS

Established in 1988, Hunter Academy of Sport (HAS) has been empowering emerging athletes across the NSW Hunter region for over 37 years.

HAS is part of the Regional Academies of Sport Ltd (RAS) network, directly providing holistic high-performance development programs and support to over 500 local athletes and families each year.

To date, HAS has supported over 15,000 local athletes and families, who otherwise would have to travel, or relocate, to receive such development and support.

HAS programs are strategically aligned with state and national pathways, progressing athletes to higher levels of representation and success in their chosen sport, whilst also fostering well-rounded people, who go on to become great community citizens, and ambassadors for the region.
