Regional Academies

There are three Regional Academies in the South and these are in Winchester (Hampshire), Watlington (Oxfordshire) and Burgess Hill (Sussex). The regional excel development programme is delivered through these centres and they provide the interface between the National and Regional programmes.

Athletes are invited to trials which are held each year in early September. These will have been identified from the PDP programme and at regional events (Schools, clubs).
