Boosting our athletics clubs
There are two key cornerstones of our sport:
Whilst Athletics is totally committed to supporting both in an effort to build long term success and succeed in growing the next generation of senior athletics champions our partnership with McCain is focused on ensuring a successful legacy for the sport can be built through investing energy and resources to support clubs to develop themselves and the opportunities they present to existing and prospective members.
Our Clubs are crucial in growing and retaining participation levels in the sport as well as providing a foundation for talent identification and nurture. McCain Athletics Networks (MAN) are now out there, building to a countrywide total of over 50 MANs by April 2010.
There are 4 major drivers for Athletic Networks
-
To grow and sustain participation levels in the sport
-
