After operating in the sports and recreation sector for over 30 years, North Canterbury Sports has identified the need for up-and-coming athletes with great potential, typically in their senior years of high school, to access appropriate resourcing and support in their campaign to reach elite levels in their chosen sport. This is particularly relevant for those in the North Canterbury regions of Waimakariri and Hurunui, who have previously had to travel to Christchurch for such resources and professional services.

 

The NC Sports Academy is the solution to this.

​

It is a programme, geared towards providing young athletes with these much needed tools and means of support to enable them achieve their full potential without having to travel outside of the region. Services provided free of charge to athletes will cover a holistic approach to managing their career endeavours as well as provide vital aspects of an athlete’s toolkit – from mental skills training, to strength and conditioning, nutrition, physiotherapy, load guidance and time management.
