Hi Everyone, Thanks to everyone who has expressed an interest so far. If you are interested in GB u23 please see below.
Also, apologies but we can't get back to everyone individually at this stage, so to answer some queries: - Trails will be in the Autumn (exact dates TBC), they will be invite only (so if you want to plan make sure we know!) - Not sure if you are eligible? You must be 22 or younger on Jan 1st 2013. You also, probably, need to be a UK resident or have lived here for at least the last 20 months. See the rules: http://wfdf.org/downloads/cat_view/49-eligibility - We are looking for the best under 23 players we have, regardless of how long you have been playing. Thanks, Barry ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Barry O'Kane <[email protected]> Date: 23 March 2012 16:19 Subject: GB u23 2013: Interested in playing? To: [email protected] Are you under 23 and interested in representing GB at the World Championships in 2013? What is this? World Ultimate Under 23 Championships will be held in Toronto, Canada in July 2013. GB will be sending Mixed, Womens and Open teams. More details: http://wfdf.org/news-media/news/press/17-press-release/388-wfdf-2013-world-under-23-ultimate-world-championships-to-be-held-in-toronto-canada Age limit? You must be between 17 and 23 that year (ie turning 23 in 2013). Commitment? The top athletes will be selected in summer 2012 and will be required to train throughout 2012/13. This includes individual physical & skill training programs as well as travelling to attend regular team trainings. Costs? GB players are all self founded, so you will need to pay for everything yourself (including travel, kit, training, accommodation and tournament costs etc). As the tournament is in Canada these costs will be significant. Selecting Teams? Invite only trials will be held late summer 2012. A number talent spotters have been recruited across the country. Their job is to ensure that the best players are invited to trials. They will be doing this by attending tournaments and speaking to team/club/Uni leaderships amongst other things. Are you interested? Trails will be invite only, but if you are interested in being "spotted" please send an email to [email protected] with the following information: Name (inc nick name), Gender, DoB, Email, Phone, Where you live (include summer/out of term time location if different), Very short summary of Ultimate experience (how long you have played and with which clubs is enough) Have a question? Please send an email to [email protected] and we'll do our best to answer or put you in touch with one of our spotters. Please pass this on to your team lists and any individuals you think might be interested. Make sure the best players in your club get this information!
