Sorry for the cross posting. This year's junior worlds will take place in Latvia, July 8-13. Anybody born in 1983 or younger is eligible to play, so that does include a number of first year University students. If you are interested in playing for GB Juniors (even if you have only been playing for a few months), please email me ASAP. We currently feel that we do not have enough juniors that can play in this tournament due to the timing of it (within school time for the second year running). If we suddenly get inundated with juniors, we do have the option of putting in a girls team too. They are hoping to get 12 junior teams and 5 girls teams, but the US and Canada are looking for a large turnout and will be influenced by whether any GB teams are going. The cost of the tournament (including flights, accommodation and tournament) will be in the region of �350 unless we find some sponsorship.
On a similar note, is there anybody willing to act as coach and accompany the junior squad to Latvia? We've had a couple of experienced coaches say they are willing to help out with the training, but again due to the timing of the tournament, are unable to go to this tournament. We have expressed our dismay with the organisers and EFDF / WFDF for not finding a slot that falls within each country's summer vacation. It will be a great shame for our juniors and UK Ultimate as a whole if we can't at least provide the opportunity of playing Ultimate at this international level.
