How do local communities benefit from the Peel Regional Academy of Sport?

​

PRAS helps to build the capacity of sport throughout the Peel region through the support it provides to athletes (and their parents), aspiring coaches and local sports administrators.

 

The programs and initiatives that are delivered by PRAS aim to:

​

• Provide opportunities for talented athletes and coaches to grow and develop their skills within their local community.

 

The PRAS program works to keep families in the region for longer through the delivery of locally based programming.  This objective helps to make the Peel region a more attractive place to live.

​

• Facilitate a holistic approach to athlete development.  Not only does the program support athletes on their elite sporting pathway, it also aims to ensure that our participants become well rounded citizens that will make positive contributions to the community once their sporting careers conclude.

• Improve the physical and mental health and wellbeing of our communities
