Program Summary
The Future Athlete Specialist Training program at Bray Park State High School has been established to provide a balance between academic and sporting aspirations. Students face many challenges and pressures which can lead to abandoning their sporting endeavours in favour of their academic studies or vice versa. The program aims to provide athletes with:
-
A supportive schooling environment providing assistance to students in balancing academic and sporting endeavours.
-
A high performance culture for students focussing on sporting excellence and academic achievement
-
High performance coaching, best practice training programs and structured support systems.

The program is centred on the Long Term Athlete Development (LTAD) framework for the optimal development of sport participants of all ages, interests and abilities, and in all sports. LTAD is important for the ongoing development of enhanced Participation, Excellence, capacity and Interaction.

Student Obligations
Students will only retain their position in the program by continuing to meet the requirements of their chosen sport and the specific actions outlined in the athlete agreement. The athlete agreement outlines a set of key performance indicators that the athlete must achieve to remain in the program. Several of these are based around their academic achievements, behaviour and conduct within the school setting. Others are more specific to the
FAST program and are related to attendance of training sessions, competitions and workshops.
Failure to adhere may result in being withdrawn from the program, whilst progression from year level to year level in the program is not automatic.
Targeted Sports
The program aims to develop every athlete through a personalized training program and caters for students from
all sports.
