The Isle of Wight council has launched a new 'Talented Athlete' program where we will be supporting some of the islands most successful and talented athletes.

To ensure the needs of every athlete enrolled on the programme are met we have teamed up with Southern Vectis, Wightlink, and the Isle of Wight councils leisure facilities to offer what we feel is a complete package.

Anyone wishing to be considered for this program should contact the sports unit by clicking on the send a message tab above.

All applicants are judged on an individual basis in conjunction with the national governing body of the athletes chosen sport. No guarantee can be made for acceptance onto the program prior to review. click here to preview the criteria.
