I'm trying to help a friend out who is doing their international study(remember i'm English) on American Athletics grass roots and how they are organised and funded, I already explained the bits i know about like scholorships but outside of that i don't know a whole lot so can anyone help out. These are the points that need to be addressed what support and provision there is for grassroots (elementary school -> highschool / local clubs). Schools competition structure, e.g. interschool/state events Are there any sport camps that focus on track and field and how kids can go about getting onto them Funding for the camps/competitions(both of the organisers and competitors) Hope that makes sense, and any help is muchly apprechiated :)
