| Aims |
- The network will bring together clubs with similar issues and common problems both for immediate and for ongoing benefit.
- It will promote discussion at several levels between clubs, in a convenient and engaging way, allowing relationships to be created and developed over time to identify and achieve bigger common goals.
- All the benefits are athletics related, ranging from simple coaching initiatives to encourage best practice, including mentoring and sharing of ideas; sponsoring wider coaching opportunities through using National level coaches and athletes or using equipment and venues more efficiently and increasing general interest through inter-club activities.
