The Junior Development Squad (JDS) program is a clinic-style opportunity offered to competitors in the U12-U17 age groups, who show aptitude in one or more track and field disciplines. The program will be run at five locations over four physical training days, while delivering additional online content. Membership to the squad is by qualification only, and JDS training days are conducted on a Sunday afternoon.

Members receive a squad-exclusive training shirt whose design will, this year, take inspiration from Glasgow – the host country of the 2026 Commonwealth Games.

More information about JDS and season 2026-27, including dates, registrations, venues, and qualification requirements, will be made available in early-mid September.
