the benchmark performances of the athletes in relation to the High Performance
Pathway. Squad membership is determined by eligibility based on these benchmark
performances.
The
High Performance Squad (HPS) sits at the top tier of the High
Performance Pathway and is open to both senior and junior athletes. The
consolidation of the senior and junior HPS aims to assist the smooth transition
from the junior to the senior elite competition. A small group from the HPS
comprise the Elite High Performance
Squad (EHPS).
The
National Development Squad (NDS) becomes a safety net under
the HPS which provides support and incentive for the 21-30 aged developing
athlete to achieve benchmark performances for eligibility for the HPS.
At the same stage in the pathway is the Australian Junior Development Squad (AJDS)
which provides developing juniors with support and incentives to achieve
benchmark performances for eligibility for the HPS.
At the base of the national HP pathway
is the Targeted Talented Athlete Squad
(TTA) which provides the opportunity for both talented junior and senior
athletes to make a smooth transition into the HP pathway program. It is planned
to develop a Talent Identification
Program from which athletes can be invited into this squad.
