If you meet these criteria you may complete an application form available by downloading from this page. Once completed the form should be sent to the relevant national governing body for endorsement and onward submission to SportsAid. SportsAid will then consider the application in association with the Suffolk SportsAid Foundation.
Suffolk SportsAid Foundation is working closely with SportsAid to ensure that we are as flexible as possible and consequently we will consider sportsmen and women that do not quite meet the above criteria. For example, in sports where an athlete can be elite at a very young age (e.g. gymnastics, swimming) the age banding can be relaxed. Likewise if an athlete demonstrates real potential but isn't yet an international team or squad member they will still be considered. The acid test is very much the feedback and endorsement from the national governing body.
