What a fantastic morning with Maddy from On Track Athletic Performance! 🏃💨

Last weekend, Maddy travelled to Swan Hill to deliver an outstanding sprinting clinic for our Sunraysia Academy of Sport – Swan Hill athletes.

Our athletes had the opportunity to learn all things sprinting and running, with Maddy sharing her expertise on sprint mechanics, technique, acceleration, drills, and training principles. It was an engaging session filled with practical tips and valuable knowledge that our athletes can take back into their training.

A huge thank you to Maddy for making the trip to Swan Hill and investing in the development of our athletes. We really appreciate your time, knowledge and enthusiasm, and we're grateful to have had you as part of our program.

This clinic and the entire Swan Hill Winter Athletics program would not be possible without the amazing support of Swan Hill Little Athletics. We can’t thank you enough for jumping in to support this program🙏

SAS is incredibly proud to congratulate Paddy Connelly and Oscar Bitmead, our inaugural Scholarship Holders!

Both athletes showed outstanding preparation, attention to detail and professionalism throughout their applications and interviews. We’re excited to support them as they pursue their sporting goals⭐️

🏉 PADDY CONNELLY - already an outstanding 2026, some achievements include:

🔹 Representing Vic Country in a victory over Vic Metro
🔹 Selection for Bendigo Pioneers - U16
🔹 Selection for Bendigo Pioneers - U18
🔹 Multiple senior games for Red Cliffs Football Club

Paddy has an exciting future ahead, and we look forward to supporting his next stage💫

🏃 OSCAR BITMEAD - despite injury interrupting early 2026, Oscar showed great talent throughout a strong 2025.

Achievements include:

🔹 Qualifying for the 2026 Australian Junior Athletics Championships (injury prevented competition)
🔹 Representing South Australia at the 2025 Australian Little Athletics Championships
🔹 Silver medal in the 4 x 100m relay, setting a new SA state-best record
🔹 Sixth in the Boys’ 200m at the Australian Little Athletics Championships

Now fully fit, Oscar is set for an exciting summer season. We look forward to supporting him🌟

As part of their early scholarship support, Paddy and Oscar will complete performance testing and an injury and load-management session, thanks to the incredible team at Revive Health Mildura

Thank you to all athletes who applied, you did a fantastic job, and we hope to see you in future programs.

These scholarships are made possible by The Betterment of Mildura Fund, whose support shows their committee members value supporting our emerging regional athletes🙏

Congratulations again, Paddy and Oscar!

Grateful for Our Partners & Supporters!

A huge thank you to all of our partners, sponsors and supporters over the past 12 months💫

Because of your support, the Sunraysia Academy of Sport has been able to achieve some incredible outcomes, including:

✅ Over 200 athletes involved across our programs and clinics
✅ Athletes representing their club, region, state, and now multiple athletes representing Australia
✅ 11 programs delivered across the year
✅ Reduced fees for families, helping make opportunities more accessible

Without the support of so many incredible people, businesses and organisations, these outcomes would simply not be possible🙏

SAS cannot thank you all enough.

We would also like to extend a massive thank you to all of the families who have believed in our services and trusted us to support their athletes on their sporting journey.

As we move into the new financial year, we hope to continue building strong partnerships with people and organisations who believe in SAS and want to support the incredible emerging talent within our region⭐️

Thank you for helping us empower athletes, unlock potential and achieve great things😊

Our golf athletes just wrapped up a high performance golf day in Melbourne 🏌️‍♂️⛳

Being part of the academy means more than just training sessions back home — it’s chances like this to travel, compete, and play courses our athletes wouldn’t normally get to experience. Different fairways, different conditions, different pressure — that’s exactly the kind of exposure that builds better, more adaptable golfers.

Days like this are where the real growth happens. New courses sharpen decision-making, new environments build composure, and being around other high performing athletes lifts the standard everyone trains to. This is what being part of the academy is all about — real opportunities, real development, on and off the course.

Proud of how our golf athletes represented the academy today. More to come 👏

Want your junior athlete to get opportunities like this? DM us to find out more about our golf programs.

🌟 Athlete Spotlight | Joshua Ellis 🌟

A huge congratulations to Sunraysia Academy of Sport athlete Joshua Ellis on his outstanding selection in the Victorian Volleyball Under 19 State Team! 👏🏐

This is a fantastic achievement and a testament to the dedication, commitment, and hard work Josh has consistently shown over a number of years💫

Josh has been a valued member of the Sunraysia Academy of Sport Volleyball Program in both 2025 and 2026, while also taking part in the SAS Mildura Senior College Program, utilizing the Strength & Conditioning sessions with coach Elliot across both years.

His commitment to continually improving his performance has been outstanding, and this latest achievement is a well-deserved reward for his efforts💪

Representing Victoria at the National level is a tremendous honour, and we have no doubt Josh will make the most of this incredible opportunity.

We would like to wish Josh the very best of luck as he represents Victoria at the Australian Junior Volleyball Championships this July. We know you’ll do the Sunraysia region proud, and we can’t wait to follow your journey😊

Congratulations once again, Josh! The entire Sunraysia Academy of Sport community is incredibly proud of your achievement and wishes you every success in the weeks ahead. 💙❤️💚💛
