Hunter Academy of Sport

The Hunter Academy of Sport (HAS) was formed after an initial meeting on the 21st of January, 1987, between a panel of government, university, councils, community, science and sporting representatives and since its launch in 1988 the Hunter Academy of Sport has successfully developed various aspects of regional sport.

Since that historical meeting in 1987 and the functional commencement of the Academy in 1988, sports talent development programs, training camps, clinics and national congresses have highlighted a very busy and active Academy program.

The Academy is charged with three major objectives:

1. To identify regional talent

2. To educate and develop youth in the region

3. To provide opportunity

Areas of education could include coaching, injury management and treatment, fitness testing and training, sport psychology, dental and eye care, public speaking, ethics in sport, nutrition and personal development.

SPORTS PROGRAMS

The Hunter Academy of Sport (HAS) is currently running various successful talent development programs and caters for approximately 600 athletes (majority attending high schools).

Academy staff, sports and health consultants, and program coaches and coordinators take great pride in delivering top quality programs focusing on skill progression, high level quality coaching, education and technical support. The Academy works closely with State Sporting Organisations (SSO's) to ensure that the needs of our talented young athletes are met and sporting pathways are developed.

If we are not running a talent development program relevant to your sport, please contact us as we may be in the planning process, or we may be able to provide information on how to access the sporting pathway for your sport.
