The Australian Institute of Sport (AIS) in partnership with the state sports institutes and academies, Paralympics Australia and over 40 sports have joined forces to conduct their greatest ever talent search to identify the next generation of Olympic and Paralympic athletes.
Over the coming weeks, Paralympic Talent Search testing sessions will be running in ACT, VIC, SA and QLD in search for the next wave of future Paralympic athletes.
They are looking for individuals of all abilities aged 13+ years to register for this program via the AIS website:
https://www.ausport.gov.au/talent
No previous sporting experience is required – the talent search is designed to help guide individuals towards a sport they may be best suited to.
Please note that consent from a parent or guardian is required for individuals under 18 years of age.
Once registered via the above link, individuals will be invited to a Paralympic Talent Search testing session in their state.
Athletes who demonstrate potential for a particular sport will be offered the opportunity to attend a Talent Development Phase in that sport.
Paralympic Talent Search testing sessions:
- ACT: 30 November, Australian Institute of Sport, Bruce
- VIC: 1 December, Melbourne Sports & Aquatics Centre, Albert Park.
- SA: 7 December, South Australian Sports Institute, Mile End
- QLD: 8 December, Sleeman Complex, Chandler.
