With a strong focus on experiential learning, students will be provided with unrivalled practical opportunities that focus on the development of skills that assist with education and future employment as well as athlete and coaching performance.

The Institute will be located on the corner of Church and Swan St’s in Richmond, where class room facilities are co-located with gymnasium facilities for the students to move between practical and theoretical content delivery.  Facilities at both the Richmond Football Club and Swinburne University of Technology will also be used throughout the program.
