MBD ELITE SQUAD (Age 17+)

There is a very high expectation of professionalism placed on these athletes with many striving for national selection at either senior or junior level. The elite squad is open to anyone aged 17 years or above who have reached the elite standards.

Please note: An athlete under the age of 17 may be added to this squad if they achieve the age 17 Elite standard for their event.

Standards have been made for developing athletes (Age 14-15-16) to be used as a guide. Development athletes who are tracking on the elite pathway will be identified.

Athletes who have not reached the standards may still be considered for selection in the elite squad if MBD believes they have outstanding potential or demonstrate abilities that compliment the current squad.

Athletes in this squad have from 3 to 9 sessions per week including track, gym and recovery sessions.

Selection is dependent on positions being available in the squad but nominations will always be considered. Athletes may be placed into the senior or development level if MBD feels this is a better fit. All athletes must complete a trial period first.
