Athletics Alberta

Alberta Athlete Development Program (AADP)
Through direct support and assistance by the Alberta Sport, Recreation, Parks & Wildlife Foundation, Athletics Alberta is able to assist Alberta's top athletes with their future individual training and competition expenses by awarding funding based on individual accomplishments at the Provincial and National levels as well as those performances measured against Athletics Alberta standards.

The philosophy of the program is to fund the top athletes in the province. AADP is a stepping-stone to National Carding. It is hoped that athletes receiving this funding will participate in Athletics Alberta events, such as provincial championships and take part in Athletics Alberta programs, such as Canada Summer Games.

National Championships Funding
Through the financial assistance and support of the Alberta Sport, Recreation, Parks and Wildlife Foundation, Athletics Alberta is able to annually fund various levels of athletes to various Canadian competitions. Athletics Alberta has always maintained the need to have representation at the various championships. The policy will not apply to events in which Athletics Alberta specifically selects a team prior to the event and the team competes representing "Athletics Alberta”.

This policy will outline how travel funds to athletes will be determined, and distributed, within the budget category, and the appropriate club category.

High Performance Funding
Within Athletics Alberta the aim of the program funding will be to allow high performance athletes in Alberta funding to access portions of the program. The best way to accomplish this is to provide financial assistance to athletes to attend the National training camps scheduled annually. Athletics Alberta provides funding support for athletes so that they can access supplemental funding to these camps via:

• Training with other HP athletes and HP coaches on a regular basis;
• Accessing optional training conditions which would include indoor & outdoor facilities;
• Accessing special training reeds to balance out the season (i.e. - warm weather camps);
• Accessing National Team programming such as National Training camps;
• Accessing High Performance competitions.
