The Welsh Development Squad came together this week (February 12th and 13th), for a training camp held at Sport Wales. The camp was attended by the most talented athletes from across the country, in which a total of three sessions were facilitated and coached by Weightlifting Wales.

Development squads play a pivotal role in nurturing and honing the skills of young athletes, laying the foundation for future national champions. These squads provide a structured environment where promising talents receive specialised training, coaching, and exposure to competitive opportunities. Athletes in development squads can refine their techniques, enhance their physical and mental capabilities, and develop a deeper understanding of their sport.

Development squads cultivate talent, camaraderie, and vital qualities like resilience and teamwork, essential for future champions. Investing in these squads’ nurtures athletes with the skills and mentality needed for success, significantly contributing to their nation's sporting excellence on the international stage. Well done to all those who have been selected for the squads’. Weightlifting Wales is excited for the future of this talented group of athletes.
