Our High Performance Pathway​​​​​​

Our Development Pathways

Guiding principles of the Pathways Programme​​​​​​​

Athlete selection to the Academy programme is a two-step process: 

  • Selection performance criteria
  • Athlete application to recognise/assess non-performance criteria and commitment
  • Applications would be considered Performance Pathways Manager, Coaches (HP and Academy)and GM
  • Should the number of athletes who have achieved performance criteria exceed the Academy places available (due to resourcing), places will need to be allocated in consultation with the Performance Pathways Manager, Coaches and GM.
  • An athlete agreement that captures attendance, training, attitude, etc needs to be signed
