Following an incredibly successful Paris Olympic and Paralympic Games for our South Australian athletes, the State Government’s search for the next generation of superstars is underway, with the South Australian Sports Institute (SASI) hosting talent searches from tomorrow.
With a home Olympic and Paralympic Games on the horizon for 2032, SASI has expanded its talent search, with sessions to be held at the Netball SA Stadium in Mile End on Tuesday, 1 October and Wednesday, 9 October, with prospective athletes encouraged to register.
Testing has been expanded this year to include diving (ages 8-12), with cycling, rowing, kayaking, beach volleyball, shooting, archery (ages 13-17), and rowing (ages 18-19) also being tested and regional searches held last week.
The tests conducted range from generic fitness testing, to sport specific tests across sports that SASI works with. Athletes could discover that they excel in a sport they have never tried before.
Previous Olympic athletes discovered through SASI Talent Searches include Maeve Plouffe, Annette Edmondson, Alex Porter, Olympia Aldersey and Becchara Palmer.
Both sessions will begin at 2.00pm. Please visit the SASI website to register.
