Performance Programme

Performance Programme

The WTSF is committed to the development of target shooting athletes from grassroots, up to, and including performance at Commonwealth Games and Olympic level.

The Welsh Target Shooting Federation Performance Programme (WTSF PP) offers athletes a pathway in shooting sports ranging from a thorough grounding in knowledge, understanding, practice and skills of their chosen discipline, right through to international competition at High Performance level.

The WTSF PP is intended to facilitate athletes to become better at what they do physically, mentally, technically and tactically, ensuring that safety, well-being and safeguarding, is at the heart of everything we do.

The WTSF PP is overseen on a day-to-day basis by the WTSF Performance Director.

There are three different levels of the Programme:

These are detailed in the policy documents below.

Entry to the programme will be through a selection process annually.

 

We have a dedicated anti-doping page with comprehensive information for target shooting athletes.

SportsAid Cymru Wales

SportsAid Cymru Wales focuses predominantly on the 12 – 18 year age group (extended for athletes with disabilities) who are not receiving financial support from other official sources.

Applications for support from SportsAid Cymru Wales have to be submitted via – and endorsed by – the governing body of the individual’s sport, according to set criteria developed in partnership with Sport Wales. 

The criteria agreed between the WTSF and Sport Wales is:

This ensures we have the latest information on the athlete’s achievements, together with their Wales or GB rankings and an assessment of potential from experienced coaches.

If you feel you may be eligible for a SportsAid Cymru Wales grant then you should talk to your coach and the WTSF Network Development Manager. https://wtsf.org.uk/staff-members/

SportsAid Cymru Wales is not able to consider applications direct from athletes outside this process.

The deadline for applications to the WTSF is normally the end of November each year with successful athletes receiving an award in April.
