LAVic provide some of Victoria's leading coaches to develop and improve U12 - U16 athlete's skills and technical competencies in coaching and training sessions through participation in the Junior Development Squad (JDS). JDS develops not only skills and techniques but friendships with other squad members. The aim of JDS is to provide a friendly, supportive and fun environment.
Each year a set of JDS qualifying Standards in which athletes must achieve 2 qualifying performances, are developed reflecting the performances of the athletes in the current season. The standards are adjusted each year ensuring athletes are compared to their peers, rather than previous athletes. This allows JDS to maintain a consistency of performances and competency in which all eligble athletes who qualify can join, rather than setting a maximum number of members.
Qualifying Requirements
Athletes can achieve the qualifying performances in any of the following:
Performances on grass tracks will require conversion prior to registration. If a performance is close to the qualifying standard athletes must contact LAVic for approval prior to registration.
