Pathway State Team

2025 Pathway State Team

The South Australian State Team is comprised of three teams, Pathway, Interstate and Masters.

Athletes, Coxswains and Coaches must all nominate to be part of the selection process.

Annually, a selection panel is convened, and a selection policy is produced to outline the selection criteria and expectations of athletes aspiring to be on the team. This is part of SA’s high performance pathway.
