"The board recently held one of its monthly meetings in Collie and is looking forward to giving even more sporting enthusiasts around the region the chance to participate in SWAS activities," she said.
"The academy has come a longway since it was launched in July last year and the roadshow will provide a good opportunity for people to hear about recent developments."
"We now have four partner sports programs — in football, soccer, basketball and hockey—up and running, plus an individual scholarship program."
"There are currently 147 athletes from throughout the region, including the Margaret River and Manjimup areas, training through SWAS."
"Many of them are achieving exciting results and competing on the State, national and world stages"
Butlion said the SWAS board is made up of a team of regional leaders committed to providing the best training and opportunities for athletes.
"Holding the meetings inMargaret River and Manjimup will give people a chance to meet board members and ask them questions about SWAS programs," she said. "Sporting groups and businesses might like to see how they can get involved with SWAS."
