Athlete Bursaries

Posted on 11 Apr 2013 at 11:57 by Bryony Gibbs (0 user comment)

The Development Group of the ASA South East Region has recognised the issues faced by some athletes and their families with the high cost of travelling long distances to training camps.  Unfortunately we are not able to support all athletes and the majority of families will still have to pay all the costs, but we have brought in two new schemes to start in April 2013:

1.  To help athletes from low-income families to attend the Beacon Programme. More details and application form are avaliable here.

2.  To help athletes facing exceptional costs to attend national training camps – such as air travel from the Channel Islands to the mainland, or travel to Manchester for Water Polo training. More details and application form are avaliable here.

Awards are limited to £500 per athlete per year.  

We hope these bursaries will allow talented athletes to attend such training and that it will make a difference to their future success in the sport.

It is split into 2 modules with this course being the first and relevant to any type of event such as a gala or weekend meet etc. The content covers all aspects of the role such as swimmer to adult ratios, risk assessments, codes of conduct, role of a team manager etc. Whilst exceptionally useful for those considering taking on the role, current team managers will also find the course informative and relevant.
