The WSAS BMX program is delivered in partnership with AusCycling and the Regional Academies of Sport (RAS) network.

This program provides a high‑performance development pathway for talented young riders, focusing on technical skills, strength and conditioning, athlete education, and personal growth. It aligns with the AusCycling curriculum and connects athletes to state and national pathways.

Athletes receive targeted skill development, seasonal training support, and preparation for high‑performance trials. The program includes practical education in areas such as S&C, nutrition, sports psychology and injury management, along with opportunities to represent WSAS at events, inter‑academy sessions and camps.
