Following a number of annual submissions by Campbelltown City Council, on behalf of Campbelltown, Camden and Wollondilly councils, In 1997, the then Department of Sport and Recreation conducted a review into regional academies and identified a need to provide talent development opportunities to athletes in the South West Sydney region; namely the local council areas of Campbelltown, Camden, Liverpool and Wollondilly. From the review it was clear that talent development opportunities for athletes living in these areas could be enhanced through the establishment of a Regional Academy. The South West Sydney Academy of Sport was formed in 1997 and was operated by the Department of Sport and Recreation, based in Liverpool, until we became an autonomous organisation in 2002. In 2005, the South West Sydney Academy of Sport led intial discussions with, and ultimately partnered with, eight other regional Academies as a foundation member of Regional Academies of Sport incorporated (RASi). The goal of RASi is to collaboratively present a range of corporate partnership benefits and opportunities to its member Academy sponsors. It also allows the sharing of a vast array of intellectual and information resources across the Academy network when facilitating sports program planning. This collaborative venture culminated in the creation of the ClubsNSW "Your Local Club" Academy Games which presents not only a highly attractive vehicle to gain brand awareness and reach within the sporting and general community, but in creating opportunities with events and inter-Academy competition. The South West Sydney Academy of Sport aims to provide high quality, community focused, talented athlete and coach identification and development programs which assist athletes and coaches to successfully realise their sporting potential.
