The facts
Spaces are limited on each of the levels of the programme and so the criteria and the commitment required is tougher too.
The more you put in the more you get out.
Applications accepted all year round and athletes have 12 months on the programme to begin with.
Athletes on Gold and Silver memberships must maintain the levels of performance and commitment in order to renew for the next 12 months.
Our aim is to support athletes through good times and tough times so we maintain a commitment to do our best for each individual case.
what you need
to do to apply
COMPLETE A FORM
This is the official application information that we will need to get in touch with you and collect the data we need.
A bit about you and a list of your last 12 months activity.
PROVIDE A REFERENCE
All of the applications need to be endorsed by a referee.
This can be your club coach or your county or regional coach. Whichever one you choose, or both, we want to know from them why you will be a good athlete for the programme.
