We are excited to announce that this year, IMF would like to select a group of young guns (aged between 14-17) who will attend the 2023 IMF RAW Championships under the IMF Youth Academy umbrella and participate as a team.

If there is an Indigenous young person in your RAW group that shows running talent, has a desire to compete, and is interested in advancing their athletic pathways, tell us why you think they deserve a place in the team.

To nominate someone please complete the following nomination form by COB Friday, 31 March.  An IMF staff panel will select 4 young people who will form the Youth Academy team at this year’s championships.

These team members will automatically advance as candidates for the inaugural IMF Youth Academy Squad that will be announced later this year.
