HOW DOES IT WORK?

Placement within the NSW HPC is by invitation only with all athletes being put through an initial assessment for their suitability for the program. The NSW HPC offers a program catered towards every phase of an athlete’s development from Beyond 2020 Development Squads, Junior Elite Development as well as the Senior Squad program. Assessments can be requested by coaches, families or athletes directly or by an invitation from one of our talent identification initiatives. If a placement is offered within the NSW HPC all athletes train at the programs hub located within the state of the art Sydney Gymnastics and Aquatic Centre in Rooty Hill, Western Sydney.
