Annual Report General Manager’s Report As I take time to look back on my first year as General Manager at AU Sport, I would firstly like to thank all of the members for making me feel so welcome and part of the Adelaide University Sports community. We saw the third year of our Strategic Plan (2017 -2020) implemented in 2019 with a specific aim to improve the quantity and quality of our sport and recreation outcomes for a greater number of students, alumni and the wider University community. Adelaide University Sport partnered with Wirtlu Yarlu to host the AFL Indigenous Summit which saw all Indigenous AFL players on campus for three days participating in a range of community and cultural activities. For the first time in almost a decade, we entered a team of ten students in the Indigenous Nationals held in Perth in June. It was a fantastic event, which not only celebrated the sports Netball, Touch Football, Basketball and Volleyball but also the Indigenous Culture throughout the event. Partnerships with Programmed Property Services sponsors of Adelaide University Sport, Workplace Law as sponsors of the University of Adelaide Romas and People’s Choice Credit Union for three new scholarships being for Women in Sport, Student Athlete with a Disability and Indigenous Student Athlete. The association can now embrace the important task of ensuring the university community values, appreciates and embraces all that sport, recreation and fitness contributes to the student experience, academic performance and University outcomes. Athlete achievements The winners of the 2019 Sports scholarships, administered by the University, were Hugo Langsford (Boat) and Sophie Edwards (Cycling). Nikita Hains (Diving) and Daniel Canala (Athletics) represented the University of Adelaide and Australia at the World University Games (Universiade) in Naples, Italy. We had a number of outstanding international student athlete performances including Will Smith winning Silver at the World Rowing Championships in Linz. Seven students received Vice-Chancellor’s sports travel scholarship grants of $1,000 for overseas travel to support them reach their international competition in their chosen sport. Our elite athlete program, Pathway to Performance supported 14 students across three tiers: Development, National and International representation. For the first time, this support was extended to non-AU club members which was especially relevant to ensure there was no disadvantage for students where there was not an AU club e.g. diving, beach volleyball. The Athlete Careers and Transition Lead at the South Australian Sports Institute (SASI) provided valuable feedback and we look forward to working with SASI on other projects in the future. age 6 age P Clubs and Club Development Annual Report In 2019, there were 27 club premierships, championships or gold medals won by club teams. Individually there were over a 100 club members and student athletes recognised for their achievements with success on field or significant state or national selection. The prestigious Club of the Year awards were presented at the Blues dinner, where the Bennett shield for large clubs was won by the Cricket Club and the Jessop shield for small clubs, by the Cycling club. The Patron’s Cup, for an outstanding achievement by a club, was awarded to the Football Club. Once again, we provided significant support to the Adelaide University Sporting Clubs in a number of ways. $146,000 was provided in club and athlete grants for a range of development and elite programs as well as equipment All members received discounted membership to the on campus gyms The Presidents forum was introduced as a networking opportunity across sports and with staff In conjunction with Uni SA Sport and Flinders Sport and Fitness, another club conference was successfully held with 100 people from the three Universities attending to understand the role of club culture and leadership. With assistance from Clubs SA, AU Sport assisted those clubs who have access to Bar Facilities to understand the changes to the Liquor licensing laws and the impact this will have on their operations.
