Those identified will be provided an invitation to join the NIAS Sports Programs selection trials later in the year.

Lunch will be provided however if you have special dietary requirements please bring your own lunch. Participants will enjoy an introduction to multiple sports, where athletes will either play games or participate in sport specific skills in a fun atmosphere to showcase their ability. Every person will participate in each of the sports on rotation throughout the day. All coaches are of the highest quality and experienced in talent identification.
