U12-U16 Athletes Only
The Junior Development Squad (JDS) gives U12 – U16 athletes an opportunity to gain new skills and improve technical competencies through participation in coaching and training sessions with some of Victoria’s leading coaches. Training with other keen and enthusiastic squad members is both fun and motivational and helps develop new friendships based on an enjoyment of athletics. The emphasis on learning new athletic skills and improving existing ones is in a friendly and supportive environment. The program consists of coaching days, invites to events and a highlight for the year is the JDS coaching camp.
To join JDS, athletes must achieve the qualifying standard in their current age group of this season, although JDS doesn’t commence until next season, with the first activity in October. Therefore current U11 athletes must qualify against the U11 standards, and so on. Athletes must achieve One standard on 2 separate occasions or Two different standards, once. This ensures that the performances show a consistency and not just a once off.
The new JDS qualifying standards for Season 2013-2014 have been finalised, please find them below. Each year the standards are reviewed to ensure athletes have an opportunity to qualify.
