Sports - Overview

Sports Plan is one of SASI's major programs. Under the Sports Plan program, SASI works in partnership with sports to conduct intensive daily coaching and training programs. The Squad Scholarships provide athletes from selected sports access to intensive and international standard coaching and world class support services to implement a comprehensive training program. Each program operates under the direction of a full time professional coach.

SASI Sports Plan Scholarships are offered annually by each of the 15 SASI sports. The SASI programs operate at different levels depending on the sport's national high performance plan and priorities. The SASI Sports Programs therefore range from elite international programs supporting world champion athletes to national training centre programs focused on junior elite development. Current SASI Sports Programs include:

Endorsed National Training Centre (NTC)

This recognises the mutual contribution and partnership of SASI, the Government of South Australia and the Australian Sports Commission (ASC) in conducting high quality high performance sport programs and services focussed on acheiving outcomes for Australia.
The Australian Sports Commission is a principal funding agent for high performance sport at the national sporting organisation level. The joint recognition of SASI programs and services for their NTC status reflects their alignment and recognised status in the sports national pathway as well as the indirect contribution of funding support from the ASC.
