National squads provide elite athletes with support and guidance through access to national training camps and OA High Performance coaches. Two squads have been established within the OA High Performance structure:
- High Performance Squad (HPS) is designed to meet the needs of athletes aiming to excel at the World Orienteering Championships. HPS supports athletes striving for top 30 placing at world championships or top 40 placing in a world cup round in the following 3-5 years. Discipline specific groups (e.g. sprint group and forest group) within this squad will assist athletes optimise their performance for their preferred event.
- National Development Squad (NDS) is designed to meet the needs of developing orienteers aiming for representation at Junior and University World Championships. NDS supports athletes striving to represent Australia at a Junior or University World Championships in the following 3 years. Where appropriate, athletes may be invited to join activities with discipline specific groups run within the HPS.
