Gippsland Sports Academy will again run its Junior Development Program in 2026/27 with Andrew Brady as Head Coach.  This year we will also have guest coaches assisting with the program.  The program will have Trap, Skeet & Sporting disciplines.

Students offered a place in the squad will get the opportunity to attend 5 coaching days in 2026/7 along with our Sport science program which covers Strength & Conditioning, Sport Psychology & Nutrition.   We are also looking to host an Inter Academy Challenge with South West & Bendigo Academies of Sport.

This program is a sub-elite level coaching program. It is intended to prepare students for events of a calibre to achieve results capable of national program selection. (eg ACTA Academy) As such there is a reasonable expectation that students (with parental assistance) will seek out and compete in events in their discipline at significant club events, interschool competition, some state carnivals (VIC/SA/NSW/TAS) and National Championships.
