CHAIRMAN’S REPORT
2019 saw the Central Coast Academy of Sport sent a squad of approx. 130 athletes and around 30 support staff to the Hunter to contest the annual Your Local Club Academy Games. The event provided a record number of 1,300 athletes, an increase in the sports contested, a strong media presence and many operational efficiencies that catered for events across a large geographical location, venue usage from Maitland to Medowie, to Newcastle and venues within the Lake Macquarie LGA. We are very fortunate to have a committed and dynamic team of staff and volunteers, the staff take strategic ideas and initiatives and turn them into future success stories for our organisation. Your support and efforts is sincerely appreciated by the Board. A sincere thank you to Ian Robilliard OAM, Emily Burgess-Moore and Robyn Low-Hart for your support over the past year.
As the Founding Chairman of the Central Coast Academy of Sport, it is pleasing to again report on another very successful year for the organisation both on and off the sporting field. In 2019 we witnessed the organisation continue an upward trend in the provision of high level pre-elite training programs for some 250 athletes of our region. The Central Coast Academy of Sport’s mission is to provide training and education to talented athletes in a localized environment. The organisation has again successfully fulfilled this challenge by permitting many of the families living in the area to seek opportunities for their children on the Central Coast and not have to travel to Sydney or Newcastle. I offer my congratulations to the major award winners presented at the annual awards evening late November: • Male athlete of the Year: Marcus James (Hockey) • Female athlete of the Year: Holly Handley (Basketball) • Chairman’s Award Winner: Rohan Gratton (Basketball) •T he Ray Sandell Dedication to Sporting Excellence Award: Matt Cranney & Brett Doring (Coast Sport) •O ffice of Sport Coaching Scholarship: Jess Morgan (Netball) The 2019 Awards Evening again followed the changed format introduced by Emily Burgess-Moore, the idea was to ensure all athletes could participate in a fun games event while still being able to recognise the outstanding achievements of the overall award winners. This games afternoon was followed by a separate formal evening at Mingara Recreation Club. At this event CCAS program award winners were again recognised and the CCAS Major Award Winners were announced. My congratulations to every athlete who won awards and received graduation certificates. 6

I would personally like to thank my fellow Board members, Ian Robilliard OAM, Mike Rabbitt OAM, Carolyn Kay, Steve McWhirter, Lawrie McKinna, Sarah Ferman and Meg Granger for their wise council, good humour and genuine concern for the athletes of the Central Coast of New South Wales. To Ian your ongoing management and strategic direction of the Academy is appreciated, respected and highly valued.
“ In 2019 we witnessed the organisation continue an upward trend in the provision of high level pre-elite training programs for some 250 athletes of our region.” What lies ahead? In 2020 I’m confident of further growth for the Central Coast Academy of Sport in sporting programs such as Women’s AFL, growth in our Triathlon and Hockey programs, and a review of our corporate investment packages in a tight commercial market will be essential to continue to build the financial strength of the organisation.

MANAGING DIRECTOR’S REPORT
volunteer support is diminishing the CCAS is again fortunate to have a committed group of dedicated volunteers. Last year alone sixty three (63) volunteers provided in excess of six thousand (6,000) volunteer hours to our many programs and events, in dollar terms, this is a contribution to our region of $240,000 and helped to create fifteen (15) jobs locally. The CCAS engaged with forty seven (47) coaches across thirteen (13) sporting programs, again this is another success story due to the level of expertise provided to the athletes by coaches who are leaders in their fields. The CCAS is extremely fortunate to have a very strong coach engagement program and this is truly one of the life lines of the organisation, you can’t have good sporting programs without good staff and the CCAS has again delivered on this element for the two hundred and fifty (250) athletes who were involved in sporting programs during 2019.
The Central Coast Academy of Sport continues to make an important contribution to sport and athletic development on the Central Coast. The Central Coast Academy of Sport is one of nine (9) independent Academies that operates throughout regional NSW, our charter is to provide local training and support programs for pre-elite athletes of our region. What does this mean, it is probably best coming from an athletes eyes. Matt Kenyon was a former high-level basketball player who enjoyed three years of program support at the CCAS, Matt recently provided this testimonial; “For me, the CCAS had a major impact on my junior career. Learning how to work hard at a young age and also having the opportunity to compete weekly with the best players in my region. Without the Academy I would have had to go as far as Sydney to get elite coaching multiple times a week which my mother couldn’t afford, so I am very thankful I was given the opportunity to be a part of it growing up. Currently I’m playing basketball with the LA Lakers G League team and continuing my professional career, I will always be thankful for the lessons learnt while competing at the Academy”. When I reflect on Matt’s comments it becomes very clear the reason the CCAS exists, the economic and social costs saved by working in a local setting will never be lost to the organisations DNA. The CCAS is an extremely important sporting institution, we exist to help local athletes in their chosen fields, a byproduct of our work is we also help develop better citizens for the region. The CCAS provides expert advice and support in an athletes performance pathway. This type of support was generally accepted to be the responsibility of State Sporting Organisations, but the ‘needle’ direction is changing, and changing quickly, the needle is pointing directly to the Regional Academies as the experts in this critical development space for an athlete. The outcomes the CCAS is seeking isn’t possible without a genuine appetite for success by the many volunteers who support the organisation. In a time when global 8
Since the organisations became operational in January 2004 the CCAS has provided opportunities for three thousand five hundred and seventy two athletes (3,572). This too is a remarkable story, the actual costs savings provided to these families over this period of time is well in the millions of dollars. In 2019 CCAS contributed in excess of $4.8M to the Central Coast economy. When considering the collective of the nine (9) independently operated Regional Academies the numbers achieved in 2019 are quite staggering. Over the past year Two thousand three hundred and sixteen athletes (2,316) were provided opportunities locally, the gender breakdown is 57% women and 43% men, one hundred and twenty five (125) sporting programs were delivered with four hundred and thirty three (433) volunteers providing forty seven thousand (47,000) hours of support, creating one hundred and twenty jobs (120) throughout regional NSW. These results are not just outstanding, the collective results highlight the effectiveness of an Academy collective willing to work seamlessly for youth development throughout regional NSW.
“Since the organisations became operational in January 2004, the CCAS has provided opportunities for three thousand five hundred and seventy two athletes” In 2019 RASi has written and re-written the 2021-24 Business Case, a Business Case that currently sits with the NSW Government, a Business Case that highlights the important role RASi plays in the critical development areas of; educating our youth, developing our next generation of future stars, improving mental health and investing in regional NSW. The outcome of the decision by the Cabinet of the NSW Government will no doubt shape the future direction RASi and the important role individual academies will play over the next four-year cycle.
“In a time when global volunteer support is diminishing the CCAS is again fortunate to have a committed group of dedicated volunteers. Last year alone 63 volunteers provided in excess of 6,000 volunteer hours to our many programs and events, in dollar terms, this is a contribution to our region of $240,000” Like the work that is continually done in the commercial sector, support by the NSW Government remains critical to the financial strength of the CCAS. The CCAS enjoys a strong market presence and is commercially well supported by both the private and public sector organisations. I often say the CCAS would not be able to operate to the level we do without the support we receive from our platinum partner organisations including, Mingara Recreation Club, the University of Newcastle, Central Coast Council, Underwriting Agencies Australia, Southern Cross Austereo, NBN Television, Oddball Marketing, ClubsNSW, Greater Bank, and the many sport sponsors and suppliers who provide important financial and in kind support. Each of the supporting companies are important in their own right and each are highlighted and thanked later in the report. I encourage any person or company involved with the CCAS to align the CCAS commercial partners to your own business deliberations.

Three life Members were inducted to the organisation in 2019, congratulations to Mark Holton, Mike Rabbitt OAM and Steve McWhirter, each has played a significant role in the development of the organisation. Life Membership was rightly approved at the AGM held on 8th May 2019 and each recipient was presented during the formal awards evening in November 2019. Congratulations to Mark, Mike and Steve on your fifteen years of service to the CCAS. The financial infographic in the annual report is pleasing, the highlights are included further on. The CCAS has been well served by a highly effective and well qualified Board of Directors, under the leadership of Chairman Mark Holton I have been fortunate to have received incredible support and advice throughout the past year. A very sincere thanks to the CCAS Directors; Mark Holton, Steve McWhirter, Mike Rabbitt OAM, Carolyn Kay, Meg Granger, Sarah Ferman and Lawrie McKinna. Finally, thanks to the exceptional staff in Emily Burgess-Moore and Robyn Low-Hart, these ladies do an incredible job for the organisation and the results achieved in 2019 would not be possible without their untiring support, dedication and expertise.

FUTURE PLANS REPORT
1. Administration
Work has commenced with the CCAS seeking to drive cost efficiencies and income generation opportunities by reaching into secondary markets. This will be achieved by the CCAS working closer with the Hunter Academy of Sport. The CCAS sporting programs will never lose their regional significance, the Central Coast will always have CCAS sporting programs for the Central Coast athletes, we will however look to drive efficiencies by sharing resources and opportunities with our Academy neighbor. A ‘shared services model’ is under consideration where efficiencies in areas such as financial management, joint insurances, closer aligned sports programs, and human resource sharing is currently under consideration.
2. Finance and Assets
2020 may be a watershed year for the CCAS, this is dependent upon the outcome of the NSW Government’s position on the 2021-24 RASi Business Case. The funding sought is designed to meet the additional operational expectations being placed upon Regional Academies. The NSW Government Cabinet outcome is expected to be delivered to RASi by July 2020, this outcome will no doubt shape our future plans around regional sport development. The CCAS will continue to deliver tight monetary controls in a financial market that is under siege by the drought and bushfires that have ravaged regional NSW throughout 2019 and
10
into 2020. The CCAS has delivered a strong financial performance in 2019 and it is planned a similar outcome will be delivered in 2020. Whilst finalising this report the worldwide pandemic of COVID-19 is taking place. This pandemic is expected to have an adverse negative affect on all businesses. The potential of corporate support and commercial sponsorship will no doubt be tightened in the coming months. This reduced level of corporate support will be reflected in future financial reports.
3. Sport Management
This is the core reason for being of the CCAS and it is hoped that two hundred and fifty (250) scholarship positions will be delivered to the market during 2020. New or revised sports include, Athletics, a very new system will be implemented with five individually focused programs within the one sport. Water polo and cycling (tbc) to be introduced via a shared services system of delivery with the HAS, this will ensure the talent depth of these programs is upheld and the scale and size being appropriate to introduce to the market.
4. Commercial Operations
A number of critical commercial outcomes are being finalised in Q1 and Q2 2020. The CCAS will deliver a compelling argument to the Councillors of Central Coast Council in an attempt to move from annual
grant funding to a four-year commercial partnership. The CCAS is seeking this move from the annual grant funding platform currently in place to a secure and sustainable four-year term. A RASi partnership proposal will be presented to ClubsNSW in Q1, this too is a critical decision due to the delivery of a regional education program designed to align the work across the RASi network, it is hoped this will gain acceptance by May 2020. In addition, the decision by the NSW Government is expected in Q2, this will also shape the organisations longer term future. Long term partnerships provide a foundation on which future plans can be built; they provide a platform that is focused on longevity where future strategic directions can be made with a far higher degree of certainty. It is said; ‘in business you can deal with death it’s uncertainty you can’t deal with’, long term partnerships provide an organisation with certainty, so essential in the not-for-profit sector of business.
4. Regional Academies of Sport
The independent collective of the nine (9) Regional Academies of Sport have never been more aligned than was seen throughout 2019. The catalyst being the writing of the RASi Business Case, but also in terms of a clear willingness to work together for the benefit of mutual outcomes. If RASi was a buying group (of which it isn’t) RASi would be aligned by a written agreement to drive buying benefits to the group, what has transpired throughout 2019 is a collaboration and engagement
that may well see the group drive not only expense line efficiencies but income generating programs that will clearly benefit our key stakeholder, the 2,500 athletes we service annually. The Directors of RASi include; Ian Robilliard (Chair), Gerry Knights (Deputy Chair), Candice Boggs (Treasurer), Martin Bullock (Secretary), Brett O’Farrell (HAS), Mark Calverley (SSA), John Armstrong (IAS), Dave Arthur (NCAS) and James Cooper (NIAS).
5. State Sporting Organisations
Pre-elite athlete pathway development has traditionally been the domain of the SSO, but the shift to Regional Academies of Sport is a logical development due to the engagement with key local service providers throughout regional NSW. The cost effectiveness of the RASi network is understood by a number of SSO’s and these SSO’s have effectively shifted responsibility to a partnership model as opposed to a fee for service transactional model of operation. The plans around preelite athlete development will become more targeted as the FTEM model gains greater traction at SSO level and a cost-effective delivery by the RASi network becomes the norm. Regional Academies are the experts in athlete pathway development, and I expect a greater emphasis in this area during the year ahead. Aligned Sporting agencies all want the best outcomes for sport in NSW, it is essential to align the expertise available in the right sequence to achieve the best results we can for the athletes we are developing.

"A FOCUS ON BUILDING FUNDAMENTAL SKILLS WAS A FOCUS FOR THE DURATION OF THE PROGRAM."
CCAS AFL PROGRAM 2018- 2019
T
he Central Coast Academy of Sport AFL Program for junior boys has had another successful year. The age groups included were U10 and U12 aged boys and the program was endorsed by AFL NSW/ACT. The final intake was set at twenty-four (24) and the talent depth in this younger age group was pleasing. The coaching group had a great deal of AFL experience across a variety of levels. They were led by Mitchell Ede who is also the AFL NSW/ACT Development Coordinator on the Central Coast. He was supported by Assistant Coaches Brent Ede, Scott Reed, Matthew Studdert and Michael Studdert. The program operated on Sunday mornings which works well during the summer months in avoiding clashes with other sports. The use of Sundays also meant easier access to the limited training fields available on the Central Coast. A highlight of the season was a visit from Sydney Swans players to one of the final training sessions of the season where players were able to interact and train with Swans players before getting the chance to ask questions and receive feedback on what it takes to play AFL at the highest level.
22
The participants (and parents) showed great dedication to the program, many of whom committed to an hours travel in order to attend some of the training sessions. Throughout the duration of the program participants attended training sessions that introduced them to many new drills designed for representative players, and a focus on building fundamental skills was a focus for the duration of the program. The Academy athletes undertook a number of educational seminars supported by the ClubsNSW Education curriculum, some adjustments were made to cater for the younger age group. It was clear the offfield sessions remain important as a point of difference to ‘club land’. The 2018-19 AFL Boys team finished off their program competing in the 2019 Your Local Club Academy Games. This was a really positive end to a really successful program. The 2018-19 AFL Boys program will hopefully create a platform for the introduction of a girl’s program in late 2019. The Central Coast Academy of Sport would like to thank the AFL coaching staff and players for all their ongoing support and assistance throughout the season, as well as Coast Sport and Mingara One.

"IT IS ANTICIPATED THAT THOSE APPOINTED TO COACHING STAFF WITH THE NEW 2020 PROGRAM WILL MAKE A SIGNIFICANT IMPACT LOCALLY IN THE SPORT AND CREATE A NEW BEGINNING FOR THE SPORT ON THE CENTRAL COAST."
CCAS ATHLETICS PROGRAM 2019- 2020
T
he 2018-19 CCAS Athletics program was launched mid 2018 and was completed early 2019, the squad consisted of 33 of the Central Coast’s most promising Track & Field athletes. The CCAS Mingara One Athletics program was designed to assist local Track & Field athletes with a ‘value-add’ benefits program, designed to add elements to their existing training schedule and programming. The CCAS provided ‘off the track’ support to eligible athletes and to assist athletes with connection to suitable coaches in each discipline if needed or indeed required. In the middle of 2019 it became evident that the ‘value add’ concept had to change, too many ‘leniencies’ were taken and a program re-write was required. The result, which will be launched in Q2 2020 will be a five (5) program structure designed to individualise each component of the Track and Field suite of events. The five program schedule includes; Throws (Javelin, Shot Putt and Discus), Jumps (High Jump, Long Jump Triple Jump), Sprints / Hurdles (100m, 200m, 400m, 800m and Hurdles), Middle Distance (1,500m, 3,000m), and Walks. The CCAS will also open each of these programs up to para athletes. A very comprehensive program review was undertaken by the CCAS during mid 2019 with an eye to 2020. Meetings were held across many stakeholder groups
24
including; local Little A’s clubs, existing CCAS program coaches, new potential program coaches, Athletics NSW and the preferred local venue with Mingara Regional Athletics track. In all, the most comprehensive review of the program in years and the outcome a very pleasing new look at how pre-elite training can be established in a multi-disciplined sport such as Track and Field. In the 2018 annual report it was written; ‘The challenge ahead for the CCAS Athletics program will be finding the correct format for the program. This year’s valueadd format brought a lot of returning athletes back into the squad that hadn’t joined in a number of years and this was due to the fantastic value of what was provided in the overall package, however, some athletes and families requested a heavier training schedule as a part of the program’. The Central Coast Academy of Sport has set a new program structure, it will be interesting to see the investment into the program by Athletics NSW and the many highly valued athletes our region contains. It is also clear the Central Coast as a region has some of the most recognised and respected coaches the sport has on offer. The CCAS will also take a very close look at the coaching appointment policy in place in Athletics. It is essential that each discipline in the sport be supported by high quality coaches, able to support
the discipline with an agreed frequency of training that supports deliverables agreed between CCAS and ANSW. The need to remove the ‘home’ coach ownership of athletes in the sport appears to be an important development in the new program with ‘home’ coaches encouraged to attend the training sessions with their athletes. It is anticipated that those appointed to coaching staff with the new 2020 program will make a significant impact locally in the sport and create a new beginning for the sport on the Central Coast. The CCAS athletics program has enjoyed over many years the use of the Regional Athletics Track at Mingara, the refurbishment to the track early 2019 meant some disruption to the program but the result of the rebuilt track is simply outstanding. At the time of writing the venue in use at Mingara is one of, if not the best regional athletics track in NSW. Mingara has been a founding partner to the CCAS and the support they have provided to the Athletics program and to the planned 2020 program will potentially make this program one of the very best throughout regional NSW. The CCAS Athletics Program is grateful for the generous support of sponsors: Mingara Recreation Club, Mingara One Fitness and Aquatic Centre & Coast Sport Physio and Sports Medicine.

"TO BE ABLE TO ASSEMBLE ON A WEEKLY FREQUENCY KEEPS ATHLETES ALIGNED TO THE OUTCOMES SOUGHT DURING THE PROGRAM AND CREATES A STRUCTURE THAT ENCOURAGES BETTER HABITS."
CCAS BASKETBALL PROGRAM 2019- 2020
T
he Central Coast Academy of Sport Central Coast Granite Basketball program provided opportunities for thirty-six (36) athletes. The basketball program has a number of unique operational aspects that help drive very good outcomes for all involved. The quality of the coaches involved with the program is certainly one of the elements that help drive performance outcomes aligned with advancing players into NSW Country teams. I would like to thank the following coaches for their commitments to the program: Program Head Coach – Will Granger, Men’s Head Coach – Hammish Loader, Assistant coaches in the men’s program, Tim Hudson, Nick Hassab. Women’s Head Coach – Jacinta Govind, Assistant coaches in the women’s program, John Gunderson, Taylah Thomas and Aimee Pope. Thanks also to the four trainee coaches who have started their coaching careers under the guidance of Will Granger; Holly Handley, Rubie Hassab, Kyla Fitzgerald, and Ronan Gratton, thanks also to Tek Teaas the program manager. Aligned with the outstanding coaching is the fact that regular weekly contact is supplied in the scheduling of the program. This is somewhat unique in regional academy operations and this has a major upside to error identification and correction. To be able to assemble on a weekly frequency keeps athletes aligned
to the outcomes sought during the program and creates a structure that encourages better habits with fundamental skills development and the understanding of team strategies and concepts. It provides an environment where correction of technique and the ability to react in game like situations is simply more effective. Having been involved with the sport of Basketball for many years, if not a lifetime, it is encouraging to see the improvement in the athletes as they to work on key development strategies both individual and team based. The improvement over the six months of the program is quite staggering and is extremely rewarding for the coaching and support staff involved. It has been shown by the CCAS results over many years that this program does provide a true step for athletes into NSW Country State team’s and higher order teams. On a cost to benefit ratio review it is clear that regional academies deliver an extremely effective return for the investment made by the state sporting organisation (SSO). If results are measured by ‘transactional outcome’s’ this program delivers a return of 8:1 for every dollar invested by BNSW. Fingers crossed that this will be maintained and hopefully grown in the coming years. The CCAS along with the RASi network relies
heavily on working closely with BNSW in terms of program scheduling, a recent clash with the local representative program and the Your Local Club Academy Games was a disappointing clash for the athletes within this program. In terms of the sustainable athlete pathway such a clash if it were to occur in future years may prove to be a major stumbling block. It is hoped that what occurred in 2020 may be a one off. I wrote last year that SPP athletes were not eligible to gain entry to the Regional Academy of Sport programs, this eligibility change has proven to be the absolute correct decision. The involvement of SPP has been very welcomed by the CCAS, the results now being evident in the program with athletes with a sometimes ‘perceived’ higher ability level attracted to the program has again been very positive. The concept of better skilled athletes working with developing athletes is a common theme in performance pathways. Athletes do learn by ‘skill transfer’ and the inclusion of SPP athletes in the program has assisted in this parallel transfer of skills. The 2019-20 program is the fourth year of alignment with Basketball NSW, the key outcomes
sought through alignment can be summarised as follows: • Identify talented athletes. • Enhance opportunities for selection into state teams and squads, entry into BNSW programs and higher order steps in the BNSW pathway. • Increase the level of success of those athletes at BNSW leagues and events. • Provide coach development opportunities for RASi coaches and other suitable support personnel in the region. The CCAS program has ‘in part’ delivered the key outcomes sought by BNSW by the commitment of very well qualified coaches and support staff.

• The coaching positions involved with this program are simply unmatched. Will Granger has driven this initiative and I compliment him for his identification of this critical development area. Without good coaches this program would not generate the results it does. • To have thirteen (13) coaches involved with the program is a very pleasing result. • Over fifty (50) hours of ‘on court’ training has been supplied in the program with a coach to athlete ratio of approx. 1:3, this is simply some of the most constructive contact hours an athlete will enjoy. • A Christmas Camp was held on the Central Coast where 2.5 days of elite level coaching took place. • Over thirty (30) athletes took part in the camp. • Intra academy games were played during the camp. • Education session or ‘off court’ session have been interwoven in the program, our thanks to ClubsNSW for the support to topics such as; Social Media and Youth Leadership. At the time of writing the RASi Directors have made the very difficult decision of placing all RASi sports programs into a cancelled position due to the developing threat with COVID-19. For the CCAS the last three basketball
28
sessions were suspended due to the COVID-19 virus. Athletes were provided with e-learning courses covering the new Clean Sport 101 ASADA course, Sports Psychology and Resilience for Athletes. At the same time the Your Local Club Academy Games was cancelled for 2020. This decision, while extremely disappointing was to ensure the safety of athletes, coaches, support staff and staff at the CCAS. The longerterm effects will not be evident for some time, but RASi has taken a leadership position with the difficult decisions recently made for the nine independent organisations in question. I thank the primary partner of the Basketball Program Central Coast Granite, a local organisation with a very strong link to the sport of Basketball, thanks to Jim and Sue Cunnington for the level of support provided to the basketball program. Our thanks also to venue support through the Central Coast Adventist School and the financial and endorsement of the program by Basketball NSW, in addition, supplier support from Coast Sport make this program one of the most successful on offer by the Central Coast Academy of Sport.

CCAS GOLF PROGRAM 2019- 2020
T
he Jack Newton Junior Golf Program was supported magnificently again by our traditional course sponsors of Shelly Beach Golf Club, Magenta Shores Golf Club and Kooindah Waters Golf Club, whose ongoing support the CCAS greatly appreciates. The program had the addition of Golf Hub at Tuggerah coming on board to further the repertoire of venues and additional technical development and expertise on offer to the squad. Callaway provided support via discounted equipment and merchandise. The 2019/20 program started with a 3D Skills session to report on the athletes areas of strength and to offer areas of correction. All golfers then took part in an Inter Academy Day with the Hunter Academy of Sport golf squad which was held at Newcastle Golf Club, and had access to Jason Laws Golf Academy - another session of technical development. More skill and technical development was gained through Magenta Shores Golf Club and the Trackman technology. Guest coaches from Jack Newton Junior Golf , Mark Ingrey and Heath Canning were at some of the Shelly Beach Golf Club skills sessions, adding a variety of experience and coaching expertise. Skill sessions followed weekly on rotation at Shelly Beach, Kooindah Waters and Magenta Shores under the guidance and wealth of knowledge of Head Coach Peter Cliff and Leigh McKechnie.
The Golf Squad had a Functional Movement Screening from Coast Sport, where the squad were put through a range of movement patterns, particularly relevant for golf and were assessed and graded. The results of the screening has revealed strengths and weaknesses and Coast Sport have provided a Strength program to address these.
Many thanks to those who shared their time and expertise with the Squad this year with a big thank you to Peter Cliff and Leigh McKechnie from Shelly Beach Golf Club and Mark Ingrey from JNJG. For the CCAS athletes to be able to work so closely with these talented coaches only enhances their skill set and the overall Academy experience for all athletes.
The programs inclusion of Golf Hub at Tuggerah allowed the athletes access to expertise coaching of PGA Professional Brad McIntosh. The squad had their Golf Swing Analyzed with video feedback and areas of correction for the athletes to work on. The squad even played a virtual round of Golf on an overseas golf course.
The golf squad was supported by Manager Jason Millers who made a huge effort to help attract participants to the program. Very exciting to see the addition of four female squad members, making up a third of the 2019/20 squad. Jason continues to work tirelessly to bring new athletes into the program from various clubs and offers ongoing organisation and communications for the squad. Thank you Jason for your efforts in helping this program operate.
The program would usually conclude with Academy Games, scheduled to be playing at Horizons Golf Resort on day 1 and Charleston Golf Club on day 2. A two day tour where the squad will put all of their expertise to the test. CCAS had six squad representatives nominated to compete at the 2020 Your local club Academy Games. Due to the COVID-19 epidemic, Your Local Clubs Academy Games was cancelled as was the last three skills training sessions. The last three sessions were replaced with online education. Athletes were provided with e-learning courses covering the new Clean Sport 101 ASADA course, Sports Psychology and Resilience for Athletes.

CCAS HOCKEY PROGRAM 2018- 2019
T
he 2018/19 CCAS UAA Hockey Program had a successful second year with many high standard young athletes contributing to a quality training environment throughout the program. The group of eight boys and one girl (GK) trained weekly at the Wyong Hockey Complex. The 2018/19 CCAS UAA Hockey Program ran from October to April with training skills sessions weekly at The Wyong Hockey Complex. The focus of training sessions was on skill development, with the program components broken up into focus skill targets appropriate for the demands of the sport as guided by Hockey NSW. All athletes improved on their skills throughout the course of the program. The schedule included an inter academy camp with the Hunter and Western Region Academy of Sport. Aside from on field training the squad participated in education sessions to encourage positive lifestyle choices and enhance performance and received support from medical suppliers Coast Sport and the Academy’s Strength and Conditioning experts. The UAA Hockey Squad had CCAS Group education sessions that included Drugs in Sport, Nutrition, Youth Leadership and Sports Psychology. The Squad had the
addition of a visit from a mental health organisation, Save Our Kids From Suicide where the squad discussed suicide signs and prevention. The program culminated at the Your Local Clubs Academy Games. The CCAS UAA boys squad of seven was combined with the SWSAS squad of two to make a combined CCAS/SWSAS team. The tournament got underway with a few hard losses on Saturday to some of the big name teams in the competition. Sunday brought out a much more invigorated team with two big wins which saw the CCAS/SWSAS team finish in 5th place overall. The team had another first with Katelyn Williams playing goal keeper for the boys team. Katelyn was outstanding and took home the MVP for the tournament. The program would not be possible without the generous support of Underwriting Agencies Australia (UAA), Hockey NSW, Mingara Recreation Club, Mingara One and Coast Sport. A huge thank you to the amazing coaching team that have lead the way with the UAA Hockey program. Your continued support has made the success of the program possible.

INDIGENOUS TALENT ID PROGRAM 2019- 2020
U
nderwriting Agencies Australia (UAA) was again fully supportive of the Indigenous Talent Id Program and this level of support is basically the life blood of the program, put simply if UAA did not support this program and the subsequent scholarship program that follows the TID day, the program simply would not happen. The 2019 Indigenous Talent ID day was held at Breakers Stadium, where approximately 100 children registered and another large cohort of children turned up to participate in a variety of sports offered. The CCAS once again received outstanding support from the AFL, Golf, Touch Football, Basketball, Netball and University of Newcastle cohort of coaches and local organisations to help deliver the day. The response from the region in terms of children attending was again very pleasing. As introduced the previous year, an Indigenous Talent Id 6 Week Training Program was offered to selected athletes, these athletes gained access to Mingara One and were shown different training styles each week. The CCAS would like to thank Mingara One for their support. The 6 Week Program has provided an adjusted entry point for access to full scholarships, this was introduced
36
to utilise the Mingara One complex as a start point to getting the athletes into a regular program and to introduce athletes to community sporting groups for regular activity based programs. The training sessions all took different forms including; weight training, cardio vascular training, yoga, speed and agility training and massage. The program was also about helping create a strong friendship and relationships between Mingara One gymnasium staff so the athletes felt at home when coming to train. All athletes were provided with a six-month gym membership supplied by the CCAS as part of the partnership program with Mingara Recreation Club. This initiative alone will see many of the identified athletes now able to further their athletic endeavours through this gateway program. The CCAS would like to acknowledge the support provided by Matt Sonter to help facilitate the program. The CCAS wished to thank Michael Murphy the CEO of Underwriting Agencies Australia, the support by UAA has provided a program and extension that is otherwise not available to the indigenous population.

CCAS NETBALL PROGRAM 2019
T
The experience gained by competing against and training with the best pre-elite netballers in NSW Academy programs is priceless and this camp provided a memorable experience for all CCAS athletes.
Following two selection trials (held in October 2018) a final squad of 28 was announced prior to Christmas 2018 (Wednesday 7th December), with 26 athletes taking part, 1 athlete withdrew due to injury and one withdrew before program began.Athletes were drawn from one of the three Central Coast Netball associations – Gosford, Woy Woy and Wyong. The squad trained twice a month from February -April (block 1) and then again from August – October (block 2). Central Coast Grammar School is the host venue for the Greater Bank Netball program, with great facilities catering to on-court training and off-court education sessions in the Richard Lorne Centre. Athletes in the 2019 program had the opportunity to attend the RASi High Performance Camp at Netball Central in Homebush, supported by Netball NSW. This was a two day camp that included education sessions, specialist training sessions and match play.
The 2019 Your Local Club Academy Games was a very positive experience for both the division 1 & division 2 teams that represented CCAS. Head coach Jess Morgan, Assistant Coach Casey Judge and Development Coach Jessie-Ellen Standen were delighted with the development of the teams and the way in which they competed all weekend. Division two were ‘short staffed’ as a number of injuries in the week leading up to the Games saw them fall short with the number of available goal shooters. That aside, the team played with great enthusiasm all weekend and the results for both teams on Sunday were outstanding, Division two recording only one loss and a win loss tally of 3-1. This result was very pleasing for the work the coaches have applied to this very young team. Division One, worked extremely hard on Saturday with a number of tough losses against some of the powerhouse teams from Western Sydney and the Sydney Netball Academy. A similar story on the Sunday where the team were not beaten recording five wins in a stunning display of netball after a real challenge on the Saturday. Two merit teams were chosen with Charlize Lloyd-Phillips (Division 1) and Keumala Dyer-Darmawaran (Division 2) gaining selection.
he Central Coast Academy of Sport’s 2019 Greater Bank Netball program provided a high performance training environment for selected pre-elite netballers of the Central Coast. Led by head coach Jessica Morgan, assistant coach Casey Judge, development coach Jessie-Ellen Standen and squad manager Donna Judge, the 2019 CCAS Netball program achieved fantastic results at events and saw multiple girls achieve state level success as individuals and in their association teams.
38
The Academy Challenge was held in Orange, NSW over a long weekend in October. The event combined a two day inter-academy competition with an added ‘challenge day’. This day allowed athletes from across twelve academies to be mixed into teams which then competed against each other. Netball NSW coaches, selectors and mentors attended the event to observe, educate and upskill academy athletes, coaches and umpires. Twelve academies from across the state of NSW attended the event bringing close to 300 junior netballers together for the three day challenge. Other highlights from the 2019 program include a Mingara One fitness session in the gym. The girls were put through their paces and really challenged themselves. A great way to start the 2019 program. The inclusion of Coast Sport; their expertise and knowledge significantly improved our processes with fitness testing, warm up and cool down this year. The girls found the activations before training (pre-hab) new and exciting. Including a Parkrun session. There was a great turnout and huge levels of enthusiasm by all. Thank you to the primary partner of the CCAS Netball program Greater Bank, the venue support through the Central Coast Grammar School and Netball NSW who continue to greatly support the Academy programs and the junior development pathway.

CCAS SWIMMING PROGRAM 2019
T
he 2019 Mingara One Swimming program had a restructure for 2019, including an Elite Program alongside the Development Program with specialist support from Coast Sport Physiotherapy and Sports Medicine. The squads were selected from athletes with representation from the swimming clubs of the area. The swimmers ages ranged from 10 years to 17 years for the Development Squad, and 17 years plus for the Elite Squad. The program has the two top swimming venues on the coast to conduct training sessions, Mingara One Recreation Centre and the Peninsula Leisure Centre at Woy Woy. Both centres are world class facilities and both venues are important sponsors of the program. Coaches of the 2019 program were Graeme Carroll – Head Coach and Head of Development Squad. Graeme has a wealth of swimming and coaching knowledge and brings a high level of expertise into the program, as he has for many years. Stephen Critoph – Head of The Elite squad, also bringing years of experience and expert knowledge into the program. The program coaching line up also included Patrick Uljan, a former CCAS Swimming athlete who has joined the squad as an assistant coach. The CCAS Mingara One Swimming Squad trained together monthly during the winter season. The program consisted of a three-hour training session
42
each month, within the sessions the program covered all strokes and skills required to maximize the athletes chosen competitive strokes. Each session, Brett Doring from Coast Sport would also take the squads into the Mingara One Gym for Strength and Conditioning and prehab exercises, ensuring each athlete performed the exercise correctly to avoid injury and optimise performance. The program had a Psychology session preparing the squads mentally for competition, including race day visualisations and routines, optimal arousal levels and process focus. Athletes were filmed under water and analysed by a bio mechanist, offering corrections to strokes, turns and underwater work to further optimise performances. The Elite squad toured on CCAS first International Tour to compete in the New Zealand Short Course Championships. Five athletes ventured with Stephen Critoph to compete in the five day event. All athletes raced exceptionally – with personal best times achieved and some medals for some of the squad members. All athletes were able to race heats and then back up for finals in their chosen events, allowing the squad to utilise the race plans formulated during the program. A highlight of the Development Squad was the tour to Canberra to compete in the ACT Short Course Championships.

CCAS TRIATHLON PROGRAM 2019- 2020 The Central Coast Academy of Sport Crowne Plaza Terrigal Pacific Triathlon program is a part of the Triathlon New South Wales Development Pathway and has been designed, along with other NSW Regional Academy triathlon programs, to bridge the gap between local and club representation and the Triathlon New South Wales Emerging Talent Squad. The Triathlon squad for 2019/20 consists of 13 athletes: 4 boys and 9 girls. The coaching line up of Robyn Low-Hart – Head Coach and Ainsley Hart – Development Coach was supported by the squad manager Kym Rose. Skills sessions were held monthly at the Adcock Park Velodrome at Gosford. Draft Legal Endorsement was at the top of the agenda for skill development - most of the athletes achieving this status. Monthly club racing at The Central Coast Triathlon Club, Summerland Point provided valuable, local racing where the squad could put the learnt skills into place where possible. The program began with two Bicycle Safety Skills sessions at the Palmdale Lifetime Learning Centre. Athletes were assessed on their cycling road awareness and were tested under road simulation conditions. Athletes attended a combined Hunter Academy of Sport and Central Coast Academy of Sport camp in August at Point Wolstoncroft Sport and Recreation Camp. The focus was skills on the bike and in the pool. A nutrition education session was included in the camp, and the
44
athletes had to cook their own nutritious meal under the guidance of a nutritionist. A Cross Country race event was also included in the camp. The squad had their swim technique recorded and assessed with reports about stroke correction and drills sent to the athletes to work on. University Of Newcastle Ourimbah Campus performed strength testing on the athletes, with a program offered to address weakness. Coast Sport performed a Functional Movement Screening and follow up programs to support the screening. In November, The NSW Super Sprint Race Weekend saw eight of the Triathlon squad members head to Orange to race in a weekend of back to back racing against the States finest junior triathletes. Individually Stella Norris achieved a podium position, coming 3rd in the Youth A girls division State Title. In the Mixed Team Relay, a combined CCAS and HAS team managed a 3rd in the State Title. Australian Youth and Junior Triathlon Series (National Series) is a 3 race series in the draft legal format. Four CCAS athletes ventured to Runaway Bay in QLD to race the first of the National Series Races. Runaway Bay is 3 days of back to back racing – requiring correct fuelling, recovery and planning by the athletes. The athletes performed well – with Stella making the A final on the last day.
NSW All Schools Triathlon was held in Penrith in February. A race where the top 6 athletes across the line qualify for Australian Schools National Championships in Hervey Bay in March. CCAS Triathlon squad all performed exceptionally in a tough field of the Best NSW Junior Triathlon Competitors. Whilst the squad was not successful in qualifying for the National Event, all athletes were able to tick of points of focus that they had been working on throughout the season. The program would usually conclude with Academy Games. A two day race weekend where the squad will put all of their expertise to the test. Due to the COVID-19 epidemic Your Local Clubs Academy Games was cancelled, as was the last three weeks of the program. The last three weeks was replaced with online education. Athletes were provided with e-learning courses covering the new Clean Sport 101 ASADA course, Sports Psychology and Resilience for Athletes.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENT
Note 1. General information The financial statements cover Central Coast Academy of Sport Limited as an individual entity. The financial statements are presented in Australian dollars, which is Central Coast Academy of Sport Limited's functional and presentation currency. Central Coast Academy of Sport Limited is a not-forprofit unlisted public company limited by guarantee. The financial statements were authorised for issue, in accordance with a resolution of directors, on 29 April 2020. The directors have the power to amend and reissue the financial statements. Note 2. Significant accounting policies The principal accounting policies adopted in the preparation of the financial statements are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all the years presented, unless otherwise stated. New or amended Accounting Standards and Interpretations adopted The company has adopted all of the new or amended Accounting Standards and Interpretations issued by the Australian Accounting Standards Board ('AASB') that are mandatory for the current reporting period. AASB 16 Leases AASB 16 replaces AASB 117 Leases and other interpretations. The new standard is effective for the annual reporting periods commencing 1 January 2019 (31 December 2019). The revised standard removes the distinction between operating and finance leases for leases. The standard requires rights and obligations relating to most leases to be recognised on the balance sheet. Upon application of AASB 16 on 1 January 2019, the modified retrospective approach resulted in a right-ofÂuse asset of $17,253 and lease liability of $17,253 measured, at the present value of the remaining lease payments using each lessee's respective incremental borrowing rate. The company has elected to apply exemptions available under AASB 16 for short term leases and low value underlying asserts, In addition, the company applied AASB 16 using the modified retrospective approach, along with practical expedients permitted by the standard. The modified retrospective approach does not require the restatement of comparative financial information. AASB 15 Revenue from Contract with Customers This standard moves the revenue recognition focus from transaction level to a contractual rights and obligations basis. The adoption of this new revenue standard did not have a material impact on the Company. Any new or amended Accounting Standards or Interpretations that are not yet mandatory have not been early adopted.
Basis of preparation These general purpose financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards - Reduced Disclosure Requirements and Interpretations issued by the Australian Accounting Standards Board ('AASB'), the and the Corporations Act 2001, as appropriate for notfor profit oriented entities. Critical accounting estimates The preparation of the financial statements requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires management to exercise its judgement in the process of applying the company's accounting policies. The areas involving a higher degree of judgement or complexity, or areas where assumptions and estimates are significant to the financial statements, are disclosed in note 3. Note 2. Significant accounting policies (continued) Revenue recognition The company recognises revenue as follows: Revenue f rom contracts with customers Revenue is recognised at an amount that reflects the consideration to which the company is expected to be entitled in exchange for transferring goods or services to a customer. For each contract with a customer, the company: identifies the contract with a customer; identifies the performance obligations in the contract; determines the transaction price which takes into account estimates of variable consideration and the time value of money; allocates the transaction price to the separate performance obligations on the basis of the relative stand-alone selling price of each distinct good or service to be delivered; and recognises revenue when or as each performance obligation is satisfied in a manner that depicts the transfer to the customer of the goods or services promised. Sale of goods Revenue f rom the sale of goods is recognised at the point in time when the customer obtains control of the goods, which is generally at the time of delivery. Grants Non reciprocal grants are recognised as income when the grant is received. Reciprocal grant income is recognised on a percentage completion basis. Where this cannot be reliably estimated, revenue is only recognised to the extent of the recoverable costs incurred to date, with the remainder carried forward in the statement of financial position. Interest Interest revenue is recognised as interest accrues using the effective interest method. This is a method of calculating the amortised cost of a financial asset
and allocating the interest income over the relevant period using the effective interest rate, which is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash receipts through the expected life of the financial asset to the net carrying amount of the financial asset.
Inventories Finished goods are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value on a 'first in first out' basis. Cost comprises of purchase and delivery costs, net of rebates and discounts received or receivable.
Other revenue Other revenue is recognised when it is received or when the right to receive payment is established.
Net realisable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business less the estimated costs of completion and the estimated costs necessary to make the sale.
Income tax As the company is a tax exempt institution in terms of subsection 50-10 of the Income Tax Assessment Act 1997, as amended, it is exempt from paying income tax. Current and non-current classification Assets and liabilities are presented in the statement of financial position based on current and non-current classification. An asset is classified as current when: it is either expected to be realised or intended to be sold or consumed in the company's normal operating cycle; it is held primarily for the purpose of trading; it is expected to be realised within 12 months after the reporting period; or the asset is cash or cash equivalent unless restricted from being exchanged or used to settle a liability for at least 12 months after the reporting period. All other assets are classified as non-current. A liability is classified as current when: it is either expected to be settled in the company's normal operating cycle; it is held primarily for the purpose of trading; it is due to be settled within 12 months after the reporting period; or there is no unconditional right to defer the settlement of the liability for at least 12 months after the reporting period. All other liabilities are classified as non-current. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are always classified as non-current. Cash and cash equivalents Cash and cash equivalents includes cash on hand, deposits held at call with financial institutions, other short-term, highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value. Trade and other receivables Trade receivables are initially recognised at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less any allowance for expected credit losses. Trade receivables are generally due for settlement within 30 days. Significant accounting policies
62
Investments and other financial assets Investments and other financial assets are initially measured at fair value. Transaction costs are included as part of the initial measurement, except for financial assets at fair value through profit or loss. Such assets are subsequently measured at either amortised cost or fair value depending on their classification. Classification is determined based on both the business model within which such assets are held and the contractual cash flow characteristics of the financial asset unless an accounting mismatch is being avoided. Financial assets are derecognised when the rights to receive cash flows have expired or have been transferred and the company has transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership. When there is no reasonable expectation of recovering part or all of a financial asset, it's carrying value is written off. Financial assets at amortised cost A financial asset is measured at amortised cost only if both of the following conditions are met: (i) it is held within a business model whose objective is to hold assets in order to collect contractual cash flows; and (ii) the contractual terms of the financial asset represent contractual cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest. I nvestments Investments includes non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments and fixed maturities where the company has the positive intention and ability to hold the financial asset to maturity. This category excludes financial assets that are held for an undefined period. Investments are carried at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method adjusted for any principal repayments. Gains and losses are recognised in profit or loss when the asset is derecognised or impaired. Impairment of financial assets The company recognises a loss allowance for expected credit losses on financial assets which are either measured at amortised cost or fair value through other comprehensive income. The measurement of the loss allowance depends upon the company's
63
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENT
assessment at the end of each reporting period as to whether the financial instrument's credit risk has increased significantly since initial recognition, based on reasonable and supportable information that is available, without undue cost or effort to obtain. Where there has not been a significant increase in exposure to credit risk since initial recognition, a 12-month expected credit loss allowance is estimated. This represents a portion of the asset's lifetime expected credit losses that is attributable to a default event that is possible within the next 12 months. Where a financial asset has become credit impaired or where it is determined that credit risk has increased significantly, the loss allowance is based on the asset's lifetime expected credit losses. The amount of expected credit loss recognised is measured on the basis of the probability weighted present value of anticipated cash shortfalls over the life of the instrument discounted at the original effective interest rate. For financial assets measured at fair value through other comprehensive income, the loss allowance is recognised within other comprehensive income. In all other cases, the loss allowance is recognised in profit or loss. The Director's consider that the carrying amount of financial assets and liabilities recognised in the financial statements approximate their fair values. Property, plant and equipment Plant and equipment is stated at historical cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment. Historical cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to the acquisition of the items. Depreciation is calculated on a straight-line basis to write off the net cost of each item of property, plant and equipment (excluding land) over their expected useful lives as follows: Plant and equipment: 3-7 years Motor vehicles: 2-5 years The residual values, useful lives and depreciation methods are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at each reporting date. An item of property, plant and equipment is derecognised upon disposal or when there is no future economic benefit to the company. Gains and losses between the carrying amount and the disposal proceeds are taken to profit or loss.
Right-of-use assets
64
A right-of-use asset is recognised at the commencement date of a lease. The right-of-use asset is measured at cost, which comprises the initial amount of the lease liability, adjusted for, as applicable, any lease payments made at or before the commencement date net of any lease incentives received, any initial direct costs incurred, and, except where included in the cost of inventories, an estimate of costs expected to be incurred for dismantling and removing the underlying asset, and restoring the site or asset. Right-of-use assets are depreciated on a straightline basis over the unexpired period of the lease or the estimated useful life of the asset, whichever is the shorter. Where the company expects to obtain ownership of the leased asset at the end of the lease term, the depreciation is over its estimated useful life. Right-of use assets are subject to impairment or adjusted for any remeasurement of lease liabilities. The company has elected not to recognise a right-of-use asset and corresponding lease liability for short-term leases with terms of 12 months or less and leases of low-value assets. Lease payments on these assets are expensed to profit or loss as incurred. Trade and other payables These amounts represent liabilities for goods and services provided to the company prior to the end of the financial year and which are unpaid. Due to their shortterm nature they are measured at amortised cost and are not discounted. The amounts are unsecured and are usually paid within 30 days of recognition. Borrowings Loans and borrowings are initially recognised at the fair value of the consideration received, net of transaction costs. They are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. Lease liabilities A lease liability is recognised at the commencement date of a lease. The lease liability is initially recognised at the present value of the lease payments to be made over the term of the lease, discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease or, if that rate cannot be readily determined, the company's incremental borrowing rate. Lease payments comprise of fixed payments less any lease incentives receivable, variable lease payments that depend on an index or a rate, amounts expected to be paid under residual value guarantees, exercise price of a purchase option when the exercise of the option is reasonably certain to occur, and any anticipated termination penalties. The variable lease payments that do not depend on an index or a rate are expensed in the period in which they are incurred. Lease liabilities are measured at amortised cost using
the effective interest method. The carrying amounts are remeasured if there is a change in the following: future lease payments arising from a change in an index or a rate used; residual guarantee; lease term; certainty of a purchase option and termination penalties. When a lease liability is remeasured, an adjustment is made to the corresponding right-of use asset, or to profit or loss if the carrying amount of the right-of-use asset is fully written down. Finance costs Finance costs attributable to qualifying assets are capitalised as part of the asset. All other finance costs are expensed in the period in which they are incurred. Employee benefits Short-term employee benefits Liabilities for wages and salaries, including nonmonetary benefits, annual leave and long service leave expected to be settled wholly within 12 months of the reporting date are measured at the amounts expected to be paid when the liabilities are settled. Other long-term employee benefits The liability for annual leave and long service leave not expected to be settled within 12 months of the reporting date are measured at the present value of expected future payments to be made in respect of services provided by employees up to the reporting date using the projected unit credit method. Consideration is given to expected future wage and salary levels, experience of employee departures and periods of service. Expected future payments are discounted using market yields at the reporting date on national government bonds with terms to maturity and currency that match, as closely as possible, the estimated future cash outflows. Defined contribution superannuation expense Contributions to defined contribution superannuation plans are expensed in the period in which they are incurred. Fair value measurement V\/hen an asset or liability, financial or non-financial, is measured at fair value for recognition or disclosure purposes, the fair value is based on the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date; and assumes that the transaction will take place either: in the principal market; or in the absence of a principal market, in the most advantageous market. Goods and Services Tax ('GST') and other similar taxes Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of associated GST, unless the GST incurred is not recoverable from the tax authority. In this case it is recognised as part of the cost of the acquisition of the asset or as part of the expense. Receivables and payables are stated inclusive of the
amount of GST receivable or payable. The net amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the tax authority is included in other receivables or other payables in the statement of financial position. Cash flows are presented on a gross basis. The GST components of cash flows arising from investing or financing activities which are recoverable from, or payable to the tax authority, are presented as operating cash flows. Commitments and contingencies are disclosed net of the amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the tax authority. Comparatives Certain comparative figures have been reclassified to conform to the current year's presentation. Note 3. Critical accounting judgements, estimates and assumptions The preparation of the financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts in the financial statements. Management continually evaluates its judgements and estimates in relation to assets, liabilities, contingent liabilities, revenue and expenses. Management bases its judgements, estimates and assumptions on historical experience and on other various factors, including expectations of future events, management believes to be reasonable under the circumstances. The resulting accounting judgements and estimates will seldom equal the related actual results. The judgements, estimates and assumptions that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities (refer to the respective notes) within the next financial year are discussed below. Estimation of useful lives of assets The company determines the estimated useful lives and related depreciation and amortisation charges for its property, plant and equipment and finite life intangible assets. The useful lives could change significantly as a result of technical innovations or some other event. The depreciation and amortisation charge will increase where the useful lives are less than previously estimated lives, or technically obsolete or non-strategic assets that have been abandoned or sold will be written off or written down. Economic dependency on NSW Office of Sport The continued operations of Central Coast Academy of Sport is dependent on the grant funding and subsidies received from the NSW Office of Sport. Funding is received yearly in advance.

Note 25. Events after the reporting period The recent announcement by the World Health Organisation (WHO) in regard to the global pandemic outbreak of COVID-19 and the response of the Australian Government may materially affect the operations of the Company in future financial periods. At the time of this report, the expected economic impact cannot be reliably measured. At a CCAS Board meeting on 19 March 2020 it was unanimously agreed by the Directors' that all sporting programs would move from 'in person' contact to 'online' delivery. This change to operations was designed with the health and wellbeing of the athletes and staff
front of mind. This adjustment was a major operational change and staff have delivered significant value through the online medium of delivery. The Board were also mindful of the various stimulus packages that would be available to the CCAS, work has commenced on securing the stimulus packages that are available to SME's. No other matter or circumstance has arisen since 31 December 2019 that has significantly affected, or may significantly affect the company's operations, the results of those operations, or the company's state of affairs in future financial years.
In the Director's Opinion
• The attached financial statements and notes give a true and fair view of the company's financial position as at 31 December 2019 and of its performance for the financial year ended on that date; and • There are reasonable grounds to believe that the company will be able to pay its debts as and when they become due and payable.
• The attached financial statements and notes comply with the Corporations Act 2001, the Australian Accounting Standards - Reduced Disclosure Requirements, the Corporations Regulations 2001 and other mandatory professional reporting requirements;
Signed in accordance with a resolution of directors made pursuant to section 295(5)(a) of the Corporations Act 2001. On behalf of the directors
