The Targeted Sports Program (TSP) aims to provide extra opportunities for students who show potential in their chosen sport through access to professional coaching and athlete support services (physiotherapy, strength & conditioning, athlete education and sports psychology) to prepare them for elite sporting events or opportunities either through the Representative School Sport pathway or external pathways.
Current TSP Programs on offer are:
• Rugby League
• Netball
• Soccer
• Footy Sports
• Basketball.
The TSP program allows our students access to a pre-elite sporting environment from within WCS. The connections made through professional service providers allow our students to gain valuable knowledge and skills to best prepare them to move along the representative sports pathway both within the school sports framework and outside of school.
Eligibility
The TSP program is open to students in Year 7-10 and students are invited to trial for the program prior to being accepted into the program. Students accepted into the TSP Program are expected to uphold school values and maintain positive attendance and punctuality.
