SOME RELATED INFO FROM ATHS AUST WEBSITE

26.04.2007
April communique - Athletics Australia and National Elite Sports Council
Following a meeting in March 2007 of the NESC, ASC and Athletics Australia the following communiqué has been released to further improve the communication of the intent, progress and future of the Athletics Australia National High Performance Program. This communiqué and its contents are supported by the ASC, SIS/SAS network and Athletics Australia.

Athletics Australia’s High Performance Program has the fundamental objective of providing our best athletes with access to the best coaching, the best facilities and the best opportunities so they can become competitive on the world stage. In order to achieve this outcome Athletics Australia has established, in conjunction with SIS/SAS/AIS a number of National High Performance Centres (NHPC) under the guidance of a National Event Coordinator (NEC). These Centres focus on specific event groups and use a combination of elite Squad development and camps based coaching to achieve their outcomes. The support of AIS, NSWIS and VIS is critical to the success of these programs providing facility, sports, science and medicine and administrative support to the NEC and the local athletes. Currently all program funds for the Sprint and Distance programs are provided by Athletics Australia using our ASC high performance grants funding and for the Canberra based program by the AIS, utilising AIS funding.

Currently each state has a State Performance Coordinator who is the link between the SIS/SAS, Member (state) Association and Athletics Australia where all parties are important players in the delivery of the NHPP. The MA’s are key providers of competition opportunities for our HP athletes and, in conjunction with SIS/SAS are critical to our state based talent ID efforts. In this role they link in closely with our National Youth Program in feeding into our Under 19 and Under 17 National “talent” Squads who operate under the direction of the National Youth Event Coaches. These Squads are the future of the sport and currently operate as a camps based program using the extraordinary facilities of the AIS.

The future shape of the NHPP will undergo some revision post the 2008 Beijing Olympics and Paralympics but the fundamentals will remain. We aim to make the very successful WA Institute of Sport pole vault program a NHPC and fund it accordingly. Linking the focus of our Sprint Program with our past relay successes and the developing Indigenous Talent ID program will be an enhancement and, narrowing the distance program to targeted events will produce improved results for the funds and effort. The SIS/SAS Directors have committed to ensuring our medal chance athletes are supported through to Beijing and that we adequately fund the NHPP from 2009-2012. The final shape of this program will be determined following a further NESC meeting in late 2007 where possible opportunities for all event groups, including throws, will be considered.

KK is it a new role? I looked on the AA site and it wasn’t listed. You’d want to know where this role fits in with everything else.
