Accelerated Athlete Program (AAP)

WHAT IS THE AAP PROGRAM?

NSW’s MOST SUCCESSFUL TALENT DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM

The Athlete Acceleration Program is aimed at talented athletes aged 16 – 18, where traditionally the highest rate of attrition occurs and when skill development is crucial to an athlete’s progress.

A highly sophisticated program developed through extensive collaboration with NSWIS and Hockey Australia, the AAP has been rigorously tested to ensure that it meets Australian Winning Edge requirements.

These requirements were constructed under the auspices of the Australia Sports Commission to ensure that medal winning Olympians are produced and that the future of Australia’s elite performance is assured and this is reflected in every facet of the program.

With athletes selected from every region, the program establishes a means for athletes from any area to advance their skills to the elite level.

Currently, the program caters for 60 Boys and 60 Girls across both age groups.
