The targeted age group was 17 years and over for females and 18 years and over for males with the intention to support athletes who are on the pathway to Senior Team Selection.

“Failing to plan, is planning to fail”, famously quoted Benjamin Franklin. Having a simple and realistic plan is the key to success for any organisation, however it is even more important when resources (and volunteers) are at a premium.
