About Us

The Young Athletics Ambassador programme is a space for young members in our sport across Wales to share their thoughts and experiences with us.

The programme is an opportunity for young members to shape our sport, open up a transparent line of communication between athletes and Welsh Athletics, and get involved with decision-making.

We want to listen to the needs and ideas of young members, to ensure that we are providing the best experience possible, that will encourage young members to stay active in athletics, in either an athlete, official or coaching capacity.

Membership Format

• Up to 15 Welsh Athletics members aged between 14 and 20.
• We want to have an excellent representation of gender, disability, ethnicity, language, participation level, and regional variation within the YAA. All young people in athletics and running are welcome.
• Up to two members of Welsh Athletics staff.
• Welsh Athletics departmental leads when required.
• External partnership and expertise when required.
