The Bentleigh Secondary Sports Academy Program has been a part of the school since 2017 and gives selected students a chance to improve their skills and athlete development in an elite environment. The school offers the following sports to students:
Students will have designated class time to work on sport specific skills with a platform to follow their passion. Students have morning sessions on Strength and Conditioning and Pilates, as well as, access to fitness testing and injury prevention assessment, which are all pivotal aspects of becoming an elite athlete. These extra aspects of the program put athletes at a significant advantage over others not in the program. Starting this year we also offer girls only morning sessions to keep up with our growing female participation in the program.
The Bentleigh Secondary Sports Academy Program is extremely excited to introduce our coaches for 2022 that will be leading the students through their designated sports skill sessions. We are fortunate enough to have high-quality coaches at the school who have played/coached at the elite level.
