Metro Development Program
The 2024 Metro Development Program continues to focus on the individual athlete, coach and umpire and their ability to contribute to a team environment. We will be targeting continued growth for athletes aged between 12yrs to 20yrs, whom represented us in TACT during the 2024 Fuel to Go & Play Championships.
TACT and TID Athletes from our association will be invited to Team selections via an email, further access into this program will be by invitation by the ADO and WDNA Selectors during the coming weeks. A limit of up to 23 Athletes may be selected for each age group, the ADO reserves the right to increase or decrease the number of athletes selected.
