The next Army Elite Sport Programme (AESP) TASS Selection Board will take place on Tuesday 6th July 2021. Applications (Annex A to Calling Notice) must be finalised NLT Thursday 24th June 2021.
The significant opportunities offered by the specialist athlete support services delivered through the TASS centralised programme in Aldershot (primarily for Army Boxing and Shooting) and by TASS Regional Hubs cannot be overemphasised for emerging Army athletes who have ambitions to represent their Home Nation and/or Team GB. Sport Secretaries can now put forward officials if their sport requires of them high levels of physical fitness (see Calling Notice). The Calling Notice is circulated as widely as possible to ensure maximum opportunity and awareness for all Army Sports.
The Calling Notice sent to Sport Secretaries details the ToRs which provide information about the TASS programme and specifically the application process to be followed ahead of the TASS Selection Board on 6th July 2021. Additional information about TASS is contained within the TASS website links:

If athletes are on the ReM they can also apply and if Sports Secretaries have more than one athlete in different disciplines, they should rank them out of the totality of the athletes they are supporting.
The calling notice for Army Sport Scholarships will also be issued to sports secretaries, the Board for which sits on 7th July 2021. Any athlete not selected for TASS will be considered for a Scholarship. Athletes awarded a scholarship will be invited to attend the Athlete Briefing Day.
In the meantime, any additional information or advice that may be required should be directed to AESP Manager Lt Col (Rtd) Tom Scarr
