2. Support and prepare athletes assessed with the talent or future potential to;
i. represent and medal for Australia in an Olympic Games;
ii. medal at an U19, U23 and/ or Elite World Championship in an Olympic program event;
3. Support athletes that demonstrate on-going progress whilst within the ACTAS program, and have the co-endorsement from the ACTAS and National discipline Head Coach for ongoing ACTAS support. Furthermore, develop a process for transitioning athletes out of ACTAS that have been assessed to have ceased to demonstrate the ability to represent at an Elite World Championships or Olympic Games (e.g. into a Continental men’s or women’s road team etc);
4. ACTAS to have an impact on ‘emerging’ world class talent and his/her development towards World Championships or Olympic Games success. (e.g. World class U17/U19 track cyclists, talent transfer candidates, mature athletes for women’s road)
