Performance Objectives

National & Regional

A targeted National Programme is a key tactic in achieving the Performance objectives for 2025 and through to 2028. The Regional Programme sits directly below the National Programme and is fully aligned to the National Programme in terms of principles and content.

Athletes are selected to join the National or Regional Programme for a full season based on their results in the previous season as outlined in each document.
