Who: WAIS Tours are run by high performance athletes. Athletes who use and
know the services in operation at WAIS and can explain why we do it, and
why its important. By utilizing WAIS athletes our greatest resource
we are able to offer the most intimate and detailed information
possible so that members of the Western Australian public can share the
journey with WAIS in our attempts to Produce Champions.
What: WAIS Tours take groups behind the scenes and showcase a day in the life
of a WAIS athlete. Tours include a guide through athlete training
environments, the WAIS recovery centre and a walk through explanation of
the WAIS science laboratory and the strength and conditioning centre.
Each tour finishes with a Question and Answer session so that
participants can ask questions that are of specific interest to the
group.
Where: WAIS Tours are held in Mt Claremont, where the WAIS facility is located as part of Challenge Stadium.
Why: As a not for profit organization, the Western Australian Institute of
Sport is largely State government funded. WAIS actively seeks to enrich
the Western Australian community by providing talented WA athletes with a
support network to achieve their athletic potential. WAIS Tours are a
way of sharing that dream with members of the public, and we see this as
a way of giving back to the people of Western Australia.
When: WAIS Tours are available between 9am 4pm, Monday to Friday by appointment.
