Working With Parents In Sport
Working With Parents In Sport (WWPIS) supports the parents and carers of our student-athletes, helping them work effectively with their children to fulfil their potential – both in and out of sport.

Parents and carers of our ELITE Pathway student-athletes will have direct access to WWPIS podcasts, journals, books, and research.
