Richmond Institute of Sports Leadership

Online Info Session Tuesday 11th August 

Richmond Institute of Sports Leadership with Swinburne University is a unique program aimed at developing the next generation of leaders within the sports industry. 

Swinburne University and Richmond Football Club teamed up in 2016 to establish the Richmond Institute of Sports Leadership, where Swinburne students are enrolled in a Diploma of Sports Development/Diploma of Leadership and Management.

The program includes – 

 

  • Guaranteed Pathways to University: Students keen on all types of sport, not only AFL, are encouraged to consider undertaking this 1-year program. On successful completion, students can progress to a Swinburne University degree - Business, Exercise & Sport Science, Education and Health Science – with up to one year’s credit into these degrees also provided.

     
  • Placement and Employment Opportunities: Participating students will have employment and placement opportunities with the Richmond Football Club, its subsidiary company Aligned Leisure, and businesses in the RISL Sports Industry Network.  

     
  • Outstanding Student Experience: There is a focus on growing a student’s character, resilience and confidence so graduates are match fit, work ready and life ready!  Students also have the opportunity to attend international trips and gain extra qualifications including First Aid, ASCA Strength & Conditioning, Mental Health First Aid, ASADA Level 1 & 2, Sport Australia Coaching and Level 1 AFL.

     
  • Athletic Development: Students complete practical sessions each day and train in a high- performance environment with access to state of the art facilities and coaching.

 

Students will also have regular presentation by guest speakers, industry experts, and formal ambassadors as part of the program.  Students are encouraged to watch this YouTube clip to find out more.
