Athlete Development Programme

We are delighted to announce the launch of our newest Project, Geez A Gi's very own Athlete Development Programme (ADP)

This programme has been a talking point for the Board since our inception in 2022, though the growth of the charity had to take priority at that time. However at a Board Meeting held on the 1st June 2025, it was decided that this programme was important and should be, having been spoken about for some time, started immediately. 

The Board agreed to allocate £300 to the first year of this programme; which will be split between two athletes, that being £150 each. The goal of ADP is to develop the athlete, this may be through attendance at a competition or seminar, or through experiences such as attending events. 

APPLICATIONS NOW OPEN

The Board is currently accepting application for the ADP, with the closing date being the 23rd June 2025. Any applications submitted after this date will not be considered. The winning Athletes will be announced on the 30th June 2025, via email and on our Social Media platforms. 

If you would like to nominate someone please use our online Nominations Form , our 'Contact Us' section below, or email us at [email protected]

Thank you for your time and Good Luck. 

Brief T&Cs

The Athlete must be; currently training in a martial art/combat sport; a resident in the UK; and above 5 years of age. If the Athlete is under 16 years old a parent or guardian will have to agree to their involvement in the programme.

The money awarded is not to be used to purchase a Gi or equipment, as the Charity has other avenues to provide these. Geez A Gi will retain full control and oversight of the funds and how they are spent. Geez A Gi will actively promote the Athlete over the course of the year, via Board Member interaction, Social Media publication, and in-person support.
