Hamilton, Bermuda—9 January 2020: The Bermuda Olympic Association (BOA) will, this weekend, host a special conference for Board members of Bermuda’s various sports governing bodies (NSGBs) to promote the long-term development of the island’s athletes.
Hosted and organised by the BOA’s Standards Committee, the Long-Term Athlete Development Conference will provide attendees with training and tools to assist NSGBs in fostering the development of athletes from their initial interest in sport through to preparation for national and international-level competition, with the objective of increasing the number of athletes being developed to elite levels, and improving the quality of the support they enjoy throughout their athletic careers.
The Conference also seeks to improve the partnership between NSGBs and the Standards Committee, and create dialogue and formal feedback mechanisms between the NSGBs and BOA.
