The Maltese Olympic Committee announced the beneficiaries of the recently launched Youth Development Scheme. The Youth Development Scheme was launched with the objective to work on a long term development journey for each selected athlete and now consists of five categories for athletes born 2009-2004 and an Intermediate +18 category. The selection procedure was based on the projected future performance level of each nominated athlete, which was determined together with coaches and Associations / Federations who were invited to nominate their most promising athletes.
