ORIENTEERING WORLD CUP 2005 DEVELOPMENT PROGRAMME
|
A comprehensive Development Programme, funded by UK Sport, is attached to the World Cup. The culmination of the programme will be the Young Orienteers Festival to be held on 2 May in Battersea Park, immediately after the World Cup Sprint Finals.
The Development Programme aims to give young people a positive experience of orienteering, develop their orienteering skills, and to leave a lasting legacy of training and infrastructure, so that the interest and awareness generated by the World Cup will flourish long after the World Cup races are over.
A Development Conference was held in October 2004 to help define the outline of the Development Programme. |
