Athlete/coach support programme

The scottishathletics Athlete/Coach Support Programme (ACSP) offers various levels of assistance to both para-athletes and able-bodied athletes.

Membership of the programme is conditional on parties entering into an agreement. This agreement reflects the fact that the performance environment is about achieving excellence in everything we do, from meeting challenging performance targets on the sports field to managing ourselves to the highest professional standards.

It summarises the services that scottishathletics will provide to the athletes and coaches, and outlines the responsibilities that our leading athletes are expected to observe.

The benefits that athletes will receive on each level of the programme will be published separately and will depend on the resources available to scottishathletics and the support of our partners in the sportscotland institute of sport network and British Athletics. Some benefits may only be available to athletes based in Scotland.

1) British Athletics World Class Performance Programme
a) World Class Podium
b) World Class Podium Potential
c) British Athletics Futures Programme

2) scottishathletics Commonwealth Squad
