Based at Greater Western Sydney’s West HQ, the Academy was established to encourage participation in gymnastic sports and to provide assistance and support to elite athletes in their quest to achieve Olympic and World Championship representation.
The Academy supports athletes with the provision of funds enabling them to compete in accredited sporting events through Scholarship grants, Travel and Uniform Subsidies, and Talent recognition programs.
The academy Identifies, supports and develops young athletes, who can compete at National, World Championship and the Olympic level. This support is governed by both the 2022 Scholarship Policy and the 2022 Travel Subsidy Policy.
The Academy is governed by an independent board consisting of two directors; The Junior Development Coordinator for Gymnastics NSW and the CEO of West HQ limited. Each quarter approvals involving nominated athletes and subsidy applications are considered, and policies are reviewed and updated.
