The AIS stands for The Australian Institute of Sport. The AIS was established in 1981 after the 1976 Montreal Olympic Games. The AIS was setup because Australia did not do very well in the 1976 Olympics and was 32nd overall with one silver medal and four bronze medals for the whole Olympics. The AIS receives funding to pay for the training of some elite athletes which hopefully will win Australia Gold medals.

I would choose Basketball at the AIS because I have and still do play the game for a local club and love it. Most of my friends play basketball and it lets me see my friends outside of school as well. I would like to be a professional basketball player and the AIS would be the place where I could learn the skills to make that happen.
