For Athletes born in 1991/1992

Trial Race - Shutlingsloe Monday May 26th.

3 athletes will be selected to represent England at the above event. We may also take an additional traveling reserve for development purposes. Because of travel bookings Valid Passports will have to be held on the date of the selection race.

The first 2 eligible athletes in the English Junior Championship race at Shutlingsloe (Cheshire) on May 26/5/08 will be selected as part of the England group to depart on Friday 20/6/08. We intend to return on Monday 23/6/08.

The Teams will be decided and athletes notified by Wednesday 28th May.

Athletes who intend to compete should notify the Junior Team Manager, Bashir Hussain or Pauline Stuart. They will be asked to complete an athlete information form.

Athletes are advised that the first English Championship Race is the Anniversary Waltz (Cumbria) on 19th April. Form will be considered at both races & potential team members are expected to compete.

National Teams

It is the policy of the Association to send teams to international events, in order that athletes develop and gain experience of traveling and competing against good quality athletes from other Countries.

England teams are selected for the senior age group and the IAAF Under 20/Junior age groups for both men and women. No athlete who is under the age of 16 on the day of departure for International Competition outside of the UK will be selected and if under 18 will be required to complete a parental consent form.

NB
Unfortunately the 2008 FRA Hand Book was published prior to the finalisation of selection criteria & hence is inaccurate.
