STS is pleased to announce that applications for the 2022-23 Performance Programme are now being accepted as of today, 1st August 2022.

We are keen to make sure that no one misses out on this opportunity so please remember:

Applications are open to non-STS members (although STS membership must be taken out if accepted on to the programme);
Our programme is fully inclusive so we welcome applications from all athletes, including para athletes; and
We also accept applications for Talent Transfer from athletes currently competing in non-Olympic/Paralympic disciplines or events so if you are a talented athlete in a non-ISSF discipline, we still want to hear from you.

Athletes interested in being part of the programme and feel they meet the requirements (available from the ‘Getting Selected’ page), should complete the application form, available here or from the ‘Getting Selected’ page on the STS website.

Applications will close just before midnight on 31st August and late applications will not be accepted.

After the closing date, applications will be reviewed and candidates that have demonstrated their potential through their application will be invited for an on-rage assessment and then follow up interview with the Performance & Pathways Manager, Jennifer Ross.

The Performance and Pathways Group will then convene a selection meeting in September, with athletes notified of the outcome not long after this meeting has taken place. All athletes will then be required to attend an induction session in person in early October to get everyone ready for the new performance year.

We look forward to receiving your applications welcome and encourage anyone interested to apply. If you have any questions about the process or the programme, please contact performance@scottishtargetshooting.co.uk.
