2026 Trinity Sport Performance Academy
By Naomi Tupa'i | Posted: Wednesday February 18, 2026
APPLICATIONS ARE OPEN NOW!!!
We are excited to launch the 2026 Trinity Sport Performance Academy - a strengthened and refreshed evolution of the programme successfully piloted in 2025.
Following a comprehensive review, the Academy has been redesigned to be more robust, more consistent, and even more responsive to student voice and development needs. The 2026 programme will continue to focus on developing capable, character-driven, high-performing young people who strive for excellence both on and off the field.
The Academy is open to students in Years 10–13, with limited places available.
Coordinated by Naomi Tupa’i, the programme will combine alternating practical and theory-based sessions. Students will participate in a practical training component delivered at Am I Fit, alongside classroom learning focused on high-performance habits, leadership, character development, and balancing academic, sporting, and personal commitments. Students will also benefit from guest speakers and engagement with elite athletes.
Throughout the year, participants will develop key physical qualities including strength, speed, endurance, and movement efficiency, while building the mindset and habits required for sustained success.
Students wishing to apply must complete the application form, which includes:
- General student details
- A parent/guardian endorsement
- A short paragraph outlining why they would like to be part of the Academy
- Agreement to programme expectations and commitments
Selection will be based on performance, coachability, potential, character, contribution to Trinity sport, and endorsement from coaches or teachers.
Applications close Monday 23 February at 10:00pm.
