In partnership with AusCycling, the Western Australian Institute of Sport (WAIS) delivers a high-performance daily training environment tailored for emerging and developing athletes across track sprint and track endurance.
Leveraging WA’s premier cycling infrastructure — including the Perth SpeedDome (operated by VenuesWest) and the WAIS High Performance Service Centre — athletes train in a world-class setting designed to foster excellence.
WAIS also supports nationally categorised athletes in acceleration and action disciplines such as BMX Racing, and BMX Freestyle, as well as road cycling and cross-country mountain biking. We also support those in the Olympic/Paralympic Fast Track program, through Individual Athlete Scholarships.
Scholarships are awarded to athletes who meet the performance benchmarks outlined in the WAIS Selection Guidelines, Criteria and Process, with priority given to those competing in 2028 Olympic and Paralympic medal-target classes and Pathway disciplines, as defined in the AusCycling High Performance Strategy.
WAIS scholarship athletes gain access to:
- Expert Coaching & Tactical Support
- Integrated Performance Services: Strength & Conditioning, Physiology, Nutrition, Psychology, Biomechanics, and Physiotherapy
- Holistic Athlete Support: Wellbeing and personal growth
Whether you’re chasing the podium or building toward international success, WAIS Cycling is where elite potential is transformed into world-class performance.
