    The Advanced Apprenticeship in Sporting Excellence (AASE) framework has been designed to meet

    the needs of young people (aged 16-19)

     

    "who have the realistic potential to achieve excellence in their sport and are seeking to perform at the

    highest level as their main career goal".

     

     

    Shona Richards

    2014 IAAF World Junior Championships 

    400mH x 4x400m silver medallist

    "AASE programme helped me to develop my knowledge about lifestyle and nutrition to help me achieve what I have today.  It was also incredibly enjoyable and sociable - I met many athletes from various other disciplines and learned about how they prepare both mentally and physically, furthering my knowledge".

    The Marathon Sports Foundation is an accredited  training provider and works in association with UK Athletics to deliver the AASE programme for the London & South East.

     

    Working out of various locations including Lee Valley NW10, St. Mary's University College, North West Kent College Dartford, University of East London and The Canterbury Academy.

    AASE

     

     

    • The purpose of AASE is to provide a pathway for the development of elite young athletes across England in their chosen sport.  

     

    • AASE provides a structured training and development route, across a number of sports,

           for elite young athletes, who may go on to represent their country on the Olympic stage or

           gain professional contracts.

     

    • The AASE scheme can take up to a maximum of two years to complete.

     

    • The AASE scheme fully reflects the range of skills, knowledge and performance

           criteria required in elite sport.  It is not a qualification for simply "playing the game".

     

    • AASE is designed to directly measure the athlete's ability to apply themselves

           to "professional" development in their sport.
