Program Description

Athletics ACT (AACT) is excited to again be running the Target Talent Program (TTP) for athletes born 2003-08. Through the engagement of technical coaching experts and sport industry professionals, AACT TTP is the early identification element of Athletics Australia’s High-Performance Department and aims to build upon your current skills and aid in your continued pursuit of success in both sport and life.

The purpose of the TTP is to:

• To be the early identification element of AA’s High-Performance Department
• Encourage the best young athletes in the State by inviting them to be part of a State Level squad and participate in development opportunities;
• Encourage and develop the best local coaches through recognizing them as State Coaches;
• To create meaningful contacts in the off-season between the best young athletes in their State, their personal coaches and the AACT TTP State coaching team;
• By identifying and engaging the ACT’s best junior athletes and coaches through development education opportunities, the AACT TTP aims to encourage both athletes and coaches to achieve their potential and to progress through the AA High Performance Pathway, in a fun, encouraging and engaging environment.
