Athletics Ireland and the Athlete development sector are delighted to provide a document on the topic of developing County Squad programmes. The aim of this is to support clubs and counties who wish to develop and deliver successful County Squad programmes. Our mission is to create more opportunities for athletes of all levels to engage in athletics and feel supported on every step of their development. An overview of the purpose and value of county squad programmes and how they can aid in athlete, coach and club development is detailed and highlights how creating these structures can aid in huge development of athletics within clubs and counties.
Any counties who seek further guidance and support, please reach out to your local RDO or Athlete development manager, Grace Lynch.
