Working Document For The Cross Country Review 2014/2015
The Cross Country Review Forum will be hosted in room B1029 (holds 125) (Ground Floor, Business School) AIT on Saturday.
This working document is a consolidation of responses from a variety of sources including AAI County Boards, AAI clubs, AAI coaches and individuals passionate about cross country. In total the data represented in this document stems from twenty–two separate submissions in varying formats. Due to the breadth of the material submitted, it was not possible to draw conclusions or make definitive recommendations. Therefore the aim of this working document was to summarise and accurately represent a wide variety of views. In the process of consolidating participants’ responses, an attempt has been made to represent the views of all participants. Any omission of views has not been intentional. Efforts have been made to capture the views of participants as originally expressed in their submissions and incorporate these original statements into this working document.
The data from the submissions for the cross country review process have been organised under ten central themes.
1. Season Structure
2. Competitive Structure
3. Competition Categories
4. Rules and Regulations
5. Identified Gaps in the Calendar of Events
6. Participation and Retention
