The Archery Australia National Para Program has been developed to deliver development and elite programs which produce Para Archery Champions at benchmark events including Paralympic Games and World Archery Para Championships.
The purpose of the NPP is to provide a system of support for Archery Australia’s leading Para Archers in a structured, sequential and transparent manner that supports the athletes in achieving performances which are aligned to Archery Australia’s published performance goals. The NPP has three distinct components:
- National Squad
- National Development Squad
- National Youth Squad
The NPP recognises that Federal Government funding through the Australian Institute if Sport (AIS) and State Government funding through the National Institute Network (NIN) partners, for high performance Archery, is directed solely at Olympic and Paralympic disciplines.
