This one-off fund supports SGBs to optimise athlete progression, performance, and wellbeing, while promoting inclusive pathway practices. A 2023 needs analysis highlighted that current pathways often provide sub-optimal developmental experiences and are constrained by socio-economic barriers. SGBs can apply for funding to support staff or pathway programmes, with applications closing 31 May and decisions by 30 June.
Applications should design pathways that optimise the athlete development experience, creating environments that are rigorous, coherent, meaningful, balanced, and focused, while improving coaching, training, competition access, affordability, and use of performance data.
