Foreword

The Academy Games has been developed by the members of the Regional Academies of Sport Inc. as an exciting initiative that enables all our athletes to come together - not only to compete against other talented athletes in their chosen fields - but to celebrate sport and the skills and commitment of all our talented athletes. Whilst it was disappointing that the Academy Games were unable to take place in 2020 due to COVID-19, it is exciting to be back out on the court in 2021 and letting the competition unfold. A total of 9 Academies will compete across 64 games in 2021, all of which would not be possible without the support of our major sponsors Your Local Clubs & NSW Government Office of Sport. This year, we are very excited to have the ACT Acade-my of Sport join us for the weekend and compete against other Academies. Last but not least a big thank you to all of the travelling athletes, parents, officials, coaches and managers who continually support this great event. Best of luck to everyone on what we know will be another successful Academy Games.
