Track and Field Academy
Overview
The Track and Field Academy strives to create a premier environment for excellence in youth-athlete development where student-athletes can benefit from quality coaching and competition opportunities.
The Academy develops training programmes based on the Long-Term Athlete Development (LTAD) model to support each student-athlete. The LTAD model provides broad-based training to maximise the sporting potential of the student-athlete by avoiding early specialisation. This is achieved through focusing on training via the multi-events programme when they enter the Sports School in Secondary 1. The multi-event training approach enables student-athletes to achieve the highest technical level upon maturity and helps to reduce the risk of burnout and injuries.
Track and Field Academy student-athletes have the opportunity to hone their skills through numerous overseas training camps and competition opportunities organised by the Academy. In addition, Sports School coaches enhance their competencies by attending coaching conferences and courses, both overseas and locally.
