Due to border restrictions, this program will not run in Fall 2022. It is hoped that it will reopen for Spring 2023.
Global Student Athlete Program: In addition to the other offerings described here, this program also includes an optional Global Student Athlete Program. Student athletes who are interested in studying abroad but need to maintain a serious training/fitness regimen can take advantage of this program, which is only available at the Palmerston North campus.
Global Student Athlete provides training and conditioning to complement a fall and/or spring semester at Massey and is structured outside of normal classroom hours. Students will train with the elite sportspeople of the Manawatu region and have opportunities to engage with both professional athletes and New Zealand representatives. Students can choose from one of five tracks:
Strength & Conditioning: Provides athletes from any sport with structured personal training sessions to improve their stamina and fitness.
Elite Sport Services: Combine comprehensive workshops, performance tracking, and a sport center membership.
Rugby: Is an opportunity for overseas rugby players to train alongside professional coaches and athletes in New Zealand.
Equestrian: Gives experienced riders three riding sessions per week, focusing on dressage or showjumping, and all necessary equipment for your horse.
Cricket: Includes coaching by international players, weekly training sessions, placement into a local cricket team, and enrollment in Elite Sport Services.
There is a supplemental fee for the Global Student Athlete program, ranging from NZ $245-NZ $5,000, and it depends on the track you choose to pursue. In addition, scholarships of up to NZ $750 are available for students who participate in any of the Global Student Athlete tracks. No additional forms are required to apply for one of the Accelerator Scholarships. Everyone who enrolls in GSA is automatically considered for one of the scholarships.
