Program Overview

The aim for Jump Start to London 2012 is to provide an enriching environment to identified Indigenous athletes. The initial program will involve athletes who are currently participating in the sport of athletics at a state level and above; however, with improved training and competition structures will fast track to high performance levels. The program will also encompass the development of coaches (Indigenous and non-Indigenous) working with the identified athletes.
