Sheffield will invest in our existing and potential elite athletes to enable them to reach their sporting goals and dreams.
We are keen to develop our own sports people in the city and help them to achieve success at the highest possible level. This will not only provide opportunities for the individuals concerned, but will also provide positive role models for young people in Sheffield.
