Athletes from across the county are being called to apply for the Hampshire Talented Athlete Scheme.
Applications for Scheme are open from now until Friday October 15. The scheme gives athletes from across Hampshire support with training, equipment, travel and physiotherapy, as well as monetary grants.
The scheme, which started in 2008 is run by Hampshire County Council. Since it started in 2008, more than 300 of the county's most promising sportsmen and women have benefitted from the scheme.
National level athletes can receive a range of benefits, including a monetary grant, free access to leisure centres, fast track physiotherapy, a free bus pass from local bus companies including Stagecoach and Bluestar. Regional and county level performers can also benefit from fast track physiotherapy services.
Councillor Margaret Snaith Tempia, Hampshire County Council Executive Member for Culture and Recreation said: "Training and competing at the highest level in sport can be incredibly costly for athletes and their parents. We are very proud of the Hampshire Talented Athlete Scheme which helps so many of our talented and promising athletes to fulfil their potential through provision of essential support services."
