WestVic Academy of Sport
The Academy is a not‑for‑profit organisation that runs programs to help young regional athletes excel in their chosen sport. No relocation, no big‑city commute, just great support close to home.
The WestVic Academy of Sport and Federation University have joined forces to give talented young athletes the support they need to grow, compete and thrive.
Based in our Health and Sports Precinct at Mt Helen Campus, the Academy offers high-level coaching, education and sport services to regional high school students. This means aspiring athletes don't have to travel long distances or relocate to Melbourne to build their skills.
2026 programs
The Academy accepts 130–150 applicants each year. Athletes from sports outside the current programs can apply for individual athlete scholarships.
