Development Programme

The Wyse Active Talent Development Programme provides essential support to ensure athletes have the resources and opportunities needed to succeed.

 

The Programme seeks to identify and support top players in different age categories, with a special focus on the younger cohort (below 13 year old). It will also help to plug funding gaps for other older age categories where necessary.
