How will NSO Athlete Categorisation inform dAIS?

Prior to nominating athletes for dAIS support, NSOs will be required to develop a sport-specific Athlete Categorisation Framework, agreed by the ASC, to underpin the prioritisation and planning of support to athletes under the dAIS scheme.

The NSO sport-specific athlete categorisation matrix, aligned to the National Athlete Categorisation Framework, should outline a criteria for Podium, Podium Ready, Podium Potential, Developing and Emerging athletes to ensure the right athletes on an upward performance trajectory are being supported along a defined and time limited pathway to the podium.
