Future Green and Gold
The search is on to discover the next generation of Aussie sporting champions.
Have you got what it takes to compete on the world stage?
The search aims to discover future Olympians and Paralympians - and you could be one of them.
We need Australians aged 13-23 for Olympic sports and 13+ for Paralympic sports.
If you haven’t tried sport before, don’t worry as no sporting experience is required. Our team of experts will help guide you towards a sport where you can shine.
Future Green and Gold is a collaboration between the Australian Institute of Sport (AIS), the National Institute Network, national sporting organisations and Paralympics Australia. This national campaign also works with state institute/academy-based programs who can help put you on the best possible sporting path.
