Developing Potential
• Sport Specific Development
• Coaching
• Volunteering
• Club Development
• Academies
Purpose of Academies
To provide an opportunity for those with performance potential to access quality
sports-specific coaching and support services to enable them to further develop
towards National Standards.
“The support services are the icing on the cake – they are sophisticated and make the final 5% difference. In some instances the cake hasn’t yet been properly baked. The athletes are only at 60% of their capacity.”
Area manager contract reviews, p.29
“There is a need to support athletes aspiring to AIS programmes without
compromising AIS focus”Area Institute of Sport Evaluation 2004,
p.25
RJG monitoring report:• Benefits to the players in terms of increased access to coaches within
a specific context• Funding not sustainable• No National consistency in terms of ages of application, criteria and
delivery mechanisms• Rarely full integration in the planning between LA/SGB/AIS in terms of
designing the RJG programme & application• Need for A managed programme for athletes to progress through or
be channeled back into sport (rather having acceptance of a high drop-out rate)
• Need for a system that has elements that are transferable between sports.
Consultation events…..
• Total of 24 events• SportTayside review & Governance audit• LTPD Consultations:
• SSA COO group• Meetings with individual sports CEOs & Lead officers• National Lead Officers group
• RSP & Academies consultations:• Internal (AE, WO, Facilities, Policy)• SIS / AIS• LA’s (Area Institute Management boards) x 7 (+ Islands Forum)• SGBs x 6• SSA• SDS• Advisory group with reps from all the above

• One coherent strategy and structure between local, regional & national bodies• Co-ordinate the delivery of LTPD pathways from
Grassroots to elite (incorporating academy programmes)• Clear roles & responsibilities• Avoid duplication & gaps

Regional Sports Partnerships Key Issues:
• Big Questions• Which regions?• Which sports?
• Governance Structures• Flexibility• Club Development
• Local Sports Councils
• Bureaucracy
Academy Feedback
• “Academy” term replaced by “?”• Acceptance of need• Driven by sports specific coaching
• Full-time or part-time coaching contracts• Potential partnership posts with AIS• Strength & Conditioning coaches
• Integrated within the player development pathway & RSP delivery (not a separate structure)
• Coach as well as athlete development• Flexible Delivery
