Your questions, answered

Before the
first session.

How can my child take part?

Contact ASA with your location and sport of interest. The team can explain the current local pathway and eligibility. No trial dates are advertised in this concept.

Are programmes open to girls?

ASA’s approach includes equitable opportunities for girls and boys. Ask the team about the relevant programme and centre.

How does selection work?

The sports village uses a structured talent-identification pathway. Current selection dates and requirements should be confirmed directly with ASA.

Every opportunity starts somewhere
