One hundred year 7 and 8 students at The Grange P-12 College are dedicating their Tuesday afternoons to sports training as part of the school’s sports science academy.
Academy assistant principal Kendall Clarke said the Hoppers Crossing school introduced the academy in 2017.
Four hundred students from years 4 to 12 are involved in the program.
On Tuesday afternoons, the academy’s year 7 and 8 participants train for their pillar sports of rugby, soccer, volleyball, netball, basketball and athletic development.
” Students are coached by experts in their field to become faster, stronger, more tactically advanced student athletes,” Ms Clarke said.
Star Weekly photographer Ljubica Vrankovic stopped by training earlier this month to check out the action.
