There are minimum standards to be met to achieve YPDC/AYPDC status which will be via an application process. A panel will consider the applications and decide which Clubs are awarded YPDC/AYPDC status. Only YPDCs will receive a financial Retainer though YPDCs and AYPDCs will be incentivised to earn additional funds based on their contribution to Key Performance Indicators. For those Clubs selected an agreement will be drawn up to sign.
