The Athlete Support Programme (ASP) is a sponsored extension of the ADP, created for athletes with clear international potential. Selection is based on your overall performance profile and progression, not just past results. The ASP provides the training continuity, structure, and coaching resources you need for long‑term development, helping you build consistent improvement and move toward performing at your best on the world stage.
What are the ASP’s goals?
This year’s programme focuses on three core aims:
- Assist athletes in improving their personal bests in Freestyle and/or Extreme Racing.
- Support athletes seeking selection for national teams and international events.
- Help national team athletes progress toward podium‑level performances at international competitions.
These aims support long‑term athlete development, from emerging talent through to established international competitors.
What support will I receive?
Support is provided according to your ASP eligibility level (Elite, Performance, or Development). Coaching resources are allocated based on your individual training and performance needs, ensuring you receive the right level of guidance, analysis, and continuity to support your progression.
What is expected of me?
As an ASP athlete, you are expected to meet the conditions outlined in the ASP eligibility standards (Elite, Performance, Development) and uphold any mutual agreements between you and your coach.
How long will I be on the programme?
The annual programme cycle is aligned with the competitive calendar and runs for one year. The scheme may be extended for a second consecutive year if performance agreements are met. If these agreements are achieved within the first two years, a further two years will be awarded, completing the programme’s four‑year cycle.
How do I get involved?
There are two pathways into the ASP programme:
- Direct application
- Progression through the ADP
ASP places are limited and highly sought after. Positions are advertised as they become available on our Instagram and Facebook pages.
