Combining Elite Training with Academic Excellence
At Elite Sports Academy Australia, we recognise the demands and unique schedules of young athletes committed to excelling in both education and elite sports. That’s why we’ve collaborated with Riverside Christian College Distance Education to provide flexible, high-quality education that supports both academic success and athletic achievement.
Why Riverside Christian College Distance Education?
Riverside Christian College

Key benefits of Riverside's program
Small Group Learning and Personalised Support
Our dedicated tutor space fosters a supportive and encouraging environment where young athletes with similar outlooks and goals come together to learn. With a maximum group size of 15 students, we ensure each athlete receives individualised attention and tailored guidance to enhance their learning experience. This approach encourages collaboration, builds a sense of camaraderie, and allows for meaningful interactions between academy athletes and tutors. By focusing on small group instruction, we create a nurturing atmosphere where each student can thrive academically while building strong connections with peers who share their dedication and passion for high performance, both in sport and in their studies.
Our Onsite Expert Tutoring Service
In addition to Riverside Christian College’s distance education program, Elite Sports Academy offers onsite specialised tutoring services to further support young athletes in their academic journey. Our experienced tutor liaises between Riverside, students, and parents to ensure each athlete receives the guidance they need to stay on track. Our onsite tutor service, delivered by Advanced Mental Performance, offers a unique, results-driven approach to academic support. Led by a proven tutor who achieved top marks and gained entry into the University of Queensland's medical school, the service focuses on guiding students towards academic excellence with a personalised and engaging approach. With expertise in cognitive neuroscience, high-performance psychology, and human functioning, our tutor ensures each session is both educational and inspiring.
Athletes benefit from a structured learning environment designed to spark curiosity and make learning enjoyable. By integrating cognitive strategies with subject expertise, our tutoring service aims to enhance both academic and mental performance, equipping young athletes with the skills and confidence to excel in their studies alongside their sporting pursuits.
