NIAS is offering Athletics as a program for the first time in some years. They will be working closely with the North Coast Academy of Sport (NCAS) to structure the program, which will create great value for Northern Inland athletes.
The program has been designed to deliver three intensive two-day weekend workshops. This format will provide athletes with concentrated learning opportunities, increased access to specialist coaching, and help reduce the ongoing travel demands placed on athletes and families throughout the season.
The involvement of athletes and coaches from NCAS, and potentially the Western Region Academy of Sport (WRAS), will broaden the range of coaching expertise and create a stronger regional performance environment.
The NIAS Athletics Program is designed to enhance and complement the coaching athletes are already receiving through their local coaches and clubs.
The program will support athletes aged 13โ19 years across track and field disciplines, including both able-bodied athletes and para-athletes. The focus will be on technical event development, physical preparation, strength and conditioning, nutrition and sports psychology education, athlete wellbeing and long-term pathway progression.
