WHO WE ARE

fter the success of the 1st forum, held at Sydney on September 1999 and the 2nd forum, held at Barcelona on September 2001 - it was clear that we needed a common place for the people and the organizations that work in the elite sports’ fields to exchange experiences and information.
T

he main purpose of the group was to establish the basis for the creation of an International Association of High Performance Sports Training Centres to discuss ways to better prepare our athletes through exchange opportunities and a sharing of ideas and knowledge under a fair play philosophy.

MISSION VISION & PRINCIPLES
It all started in September 1999 in Sydney, Australia when a group of High Performance Training Centres from all over the world decided to combine efforts to share their experiences during the 1st Forum on Elite Sport. During the II Forum on Elite Sport, held in September 2001 at CAR Sant Cugat, Barcelona, it was commonly agreed by consensus that joining forces and sharing our experiences must be a direct benefit for athletes and centres around the world.
