Youth Academy
Athletics Northern Ireland’s Youth Academy (YA) is a Development Programme aimed at young athletic talent from age 14-17.
Athletes with identified medal winning potential will gain support and mentoring, along with their personal coach to assist them along the path to success.
ANI hope to assist these athletes’s to achieve qualifying standards for all Major Youth Championships and develop them to their medal winning potential. ANI would like to see the YA become a stepping stone to a high performance athletics career and prepare our young talent for their future as the Senior Athletics Stars of Northern Ireland.
2011-2012
The first two years of the programme have been very successful with Youth Academy Athletes winning countless Irish & UK Age-group medals and even saw one Youth Academy Athlete, Katie Kirk winning a Gold Medal at the European Junior Championships in Tallinn as part of the GB & NI 4x400m Relay team.
