Youth Action
Youth Action is an ambitious plan to take Australia’s school kids (for the first time) through an organized sports ability testing process in an effort to gain an accurate and timely snapshot of the health of our young. For our nation, this hugely relevant data from a massive sample group will enable better, targeted future planning. For every individual, the process will identify their strongest points and suggest the types of sporting activities they may wish to pursue.
