NSW Weightlifting Association

The NSW Weightlifting Association (NSWWA) is a sports club based in Sydney, Australia. Established in 2012, NSWWA is a member of the Australian Weightlifting Federation and aims to promote and develop the sport of weightlifting in New South Wales.

NSWWA provides a range of resources and opportunities for weightlifters of all levels, from beginners to elite athletes. The club offers coaching programmes, training facilities, and competitions for both juniors and seniors. Whether you're looking to try weightlifting for the first time or compete at a high level, NSWWA has something for everyone.

One of the highlights of NSWWA is its strong focus on the masters category, catering to weightlifters aged 35 and above. The club organises the NSW Masters Championships, giving older athletes a chance to showcase their skills and compete against peers in their age group.

NSWWA also places importance on inclusivity and gender equality in weightlifting. The club actively supports and promotes women in weightlifting, hosting events and workshops specifically designed for female athletes. The Women in Weightlifting programme provides a platform for women to connect, train, and compete in a supportive and empowering environment.

Throughout the year, NSWWA holds various competitions, including open competitions and youth championships. These events give weightlifters the opportunity to test their skills, set personal records, and experience the camaraderie of the weightlifting community.

In addition to its competitive aspect, NSWWA focuses on the overall well-being of its members. The club offers resources and workshops on athlete mental health and general fitness, recognising the importance of physical and mental balance in achieving success in weightlifting and in life.
