Sport Manawatu and Massey University’s School of Sport and Exercise have developed a new sporting academy to foster and develop the next generation of Manawatu Olympians.

The Manawatu Athlete Development Academy caters for athletes between the ages of 15 and 20 who have begun to break through to international competition, but are not yet eligible for High Performance Sport New Zealand assistance.

The academy is open to athletes from all sporting disciplines living within the Manawatu, Horowhenua, and Tararua regions.  It offers athletes access to mentoring, workshops, sport science testing, and other services.

The programme will be led by local high performance coach Andrew Nicholls, who has recently returned from coaching duties with the New Zealand Youth Olympics team, and is personal coach to Olympic triathletes Ryan Sissons and Kris Gemmell. "I am excited to get to work with some of the region's most talented athletes. By supporting their drive and enthusiasm with the combined resources of Sport Manawatu and Massey University I will be able to help them on their way to becoming high performance athletes” says Mr Nicholls.
