Talented Athlete Practice

The Talented Athlete Scheme is aimed at supporting athletes, players and/or participants to continue to develop and thrive on their sporting journey. Each athlete is representing England or Great Britain at their chosen sport, or competing/trialling towards a national level.

The Community Network is proud to have 22 athletes who have become part of our Talented Athlete Scheme across 12 different sports; underwater hockey, blind football, swimming, karate, moto cross, cricket, golf, water polo, lacrosse, squash and muay thai and cross country.

We offer each athlete their own personalised training plan to help support the development of their sporting journey. For example, this could be pool time at any of our 4 leisure facilities, or a gym membership to help with strength and conditioning.

The athletes are invited to attend our half term / summer camps to show case their chosen sport and to share their knowledge and enthusiasm to inspire young people to learn more about their journey and sport. We also invite athletes to the community events we host and support in the Borough.
