ATHLETICS NI RISING STARS SQUAD

Wed 14 July 2010--admin

Athletics Northern Ireland’s new Talent Identification Programme, the “Rising Stars Squad” aims to identify young athletes who may be the talent of the future and develop their athletic ability using a multi-event approach.

The Rising Stars Squad which replaces the existing Regional Development Squad programme will have a fresh coaching structure, broader age range (12-14) and the emphasis will be on developing young athletes with all round athletic ability, appropriate strength and mobility, and sound bio-mechanical technique for running, jumping and throwing.  The squad will still incorporate the ANI Disability Squad.
