🚴‍♂️🏃‍♀️ SSA Triathlon Team in Action! 🏊‍♂️💪

Last Thursday our Southern Sports Academy Triathlon Team was in action training at Pomingalarna Reserve.

Under the guidance of coaches Brad and Radka, our athletes have been developing their skills and building confidence in all aspects of triathlon.

Thursday was all about bike skills and race day transitions. The team did some riding in packs and continued to learn how to ride safely and confidently together.

They also did some zigzagging through drink bottles to sharpen their bike handling and control, before finishing with a quick bike to run changeover!

It's all about the little details, building good habits, and putting in the work that makes a difference on race day. Awesome effort from the whole team!

A big thanks to Brad and Radka for sharing their knowledge and helping our athletes continue to develop their craft.

Congratulations on a Fantastic Weekend for SSA in Wollongong! 💙🏐

A huge congratulations to our incredible netballers and umpires on a fantastic weekend at the 2026 Netball Academy Challenge in Wollongong.

It was wonderful to see the squad bring this season’s theme…. Drive, Nurture and Achieve to the weekend. The girls showcased the hard work, commitment and determination they have demonstrated at training throughout the season.

Beyond the results, the weekend was also about building friendships, showing resilience through challenges faced, supporting one another and growing in confidence.

🌟 Weekend Highlights

🎤 Lip Sync Battle: Our squad took out the Best Dressed award, a fantastic effort and plenty of fun along the way!

🏐 Division 1: Finishing 12th certainly does not reflect the competitiveness and effort shown throughout the tournament. The girls played with determination, intensity and heart, with several incredibly close games.

🥉 Division 2: A fantastic 3rd-place finish winning by a thrilling 1 goal in the 3rd place playoff. An amazing achievement and a wonderful reward for the team’s hard work, commitment and teamwork.

A huge shoutout goes to our coaches and managers, thank you for your time and dedication not just on the weekend but to the season as a whole!

Well done to everyone involved 💙👏
