New Zealand's first sports school will open next year, in a partnership with Wellington Phoenix. 

The New Zealand Performance Academy in Upper Hutt will operate as a charter school for serious aspiring sportspeople. 

The academy will initially offer elite football training alongside the Wellington Phoenix Academy, as well as rugby training.
