Hello Britdisc / Junior Ultimate / Players, Teachers & Coaches
We are delighted to announce the details for the GB under 17 girls trial is as follows (the U17 Boys will send out details of their trial soon and further information is on the UKU Website<http://www.ukultimate.com/national_teams/gb_junior_women/u17_gb_junior_womens_squad> ): - Date: 17th March 2012 - Location: Arthur Terry School, Kittoe Road, Sutton Coldfield B74 4RZ - Time: 10am to 4pm - Cost: £5 per person (payable to the Coaches on the day) We will be looking for players who are athletic, determined and who have a basic grasp of the sport as well as being keen to learn. *Before attending the trial:* 1. *Players MUST bring a printed consent form completed by their parent/guardian and bring this with them on the day.* Without this form players will not be allowed onto the pitch, there will be no exceptions! The consent form is available on the UKU Website<http://www.ukultimate.com/national_teams/gb_u17/girls_selection> . 2. We also require the player’s coach/teacher to nominate the players attending trials by emailing [email protected] in advance to confirm their attendance. 3. Players will need to bring suitable footwear (we suggest football boots), clothing (including warm clothes and waterproofs if necessary), a light and dark top, water, a disc, lunch/snacks, and finally a smile and a positive attitude ;-) NB. To be eligible to play for GB U17s in 2012, players must have been born on or after 1st January 1996 and hold a valid UK passport or be eligible by being resident in the UK. After the trial, we are hoping to select a squad of 20 girls with a few additional reserve spots going to players showing a lot promise and potential for future years. * * *The 2012 Season* Last year, the U17 girls’ squad won gold, beating several U20 teams along the way. We expect to be competing for gold again in 2012. We plan on having two weekend training sessions and one possible weekend tournament before the squad competes at the European Youth Ultimate Championship (EYUC) which will take place alongside the World Junior Ultimate Championship in Dublin between the *12-18th August 2012*. We expect those selected to be able to ideally make at least two of three training weekends and also to be available to participate in the EYUC. We will hopefully confirm dates for the training weekends after the trial. We really think 2012 will be a great year for GB Ultimate and we can’t wait to get it started! If you have any questions then feel free to email me ([email protected]).
