ROSTA plays a vital role in the NSW Pathway Program, offering young athletes who fall outside of Regional Academies of Sport catchments, a program based around skill development and learning. Through education sessions, training camps, clinics, and race experiences, the squad builds not just physical performance, but confidence, resilience, and connection with both the NSW Development Squad and all of the Regional Academies of Sport athletes – building strong team bonds and friendly rivalries across the season.
This squad is jumping straight into action with their first race round on Sunday 31 August, kicking off what promises to be an exciting and transformative season.
Stay tuned as we follow these young athletes through the season – celebrating their progress, sharing their stories, and cheering them on every step of the way.
