Sports Academy Update

Welcome to the 2024 Sports Academy! We are thrilled to have you join us for another exciting year filled with passion, dedication and athletic and academic excellence. We want to extend a warm welcome to both our returning student athletes and those joining us for the first time.

Fitness Testing 

We have already conducted our fitness testing and sports coaching sessions to kickstart the year - we even had a special guest appearance from Sports Academy Graduate and Gold Coast Suns player Bailey Humphrey who encouraged the students.

Our Sports Academy is more than just a place for athletic development; it is a community built on camaraderie, resilience and mutual respect.
