applications for the STS 2023-24 Performance Programme Close on 31 August!

If you are interested in applying for the STS Performance Programme for 2023-24 you don’t have long! This opportunity only happens once a year and STS is keen to make sure that no one misses out so don’t forget:

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 are also considering 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 or WSPS 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 and available on the ‘Getting Selected’ page on the STS website.

APPLICATIONS WILL CLOSE JUST BEFORE MIDNIGHT ON 31ST AUGUST.

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

The Performance and Pathways Group will then convene a selection meeting in late September or early October, 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 October to get everyone ready for the new performance year.

SELECTION POLICY & FAQS

We would advise that all applicants familiarise themselves with the Selection Policy, available on the ‘Getting Selected’ page below. However, we have also created a Selection FAQs page to explain a bit more about the programme itself, as well as the selection process. A link to this page has been provided below

We welcome all applications and if you have any questions about the process or the programme, please contact performance@scottishtargetshooting.co.uk.
