  • 11.10.09 - Interlands: How to get Selected for England!

    England Juniors Selection Policy for Interland 2010

    (http://www.orienteeringengland.org.uk/england-juniors-selection-policy-for-interland-2010/)

    Interland is an International between Belgium, Germany, Holland and England. In 2010 it will be held in NE Belgium on 7th March 2010. Selection will be based on the following events:

    • South Central November Classic (SOC) Sunday 1st November 2009
    • East Midlands Eyam (DVO) Sunday 15th November 2009
    • West Midlands National Event (WCH) Sunday 13th December 2009
    and all known form up until the end of 2009.

    It is anticipated that juniors wishing to be considered for selection will compete in 2 of the 3 races listed.

    In keeping with the objectives of the England Selectors to use this competition to provide experience, it is unlikely that the Junior Selectors will consider members of the Great Britain Junior Performance Squad for selection.

    It is likely that the composition of the Junior team will be 3 M/W14, 3 M/W16 and 1 M/W18. It is unlikely that the selectors will consider juniors in 'bottom year' M/W14 ie born in 1997.

    At all events Juniors should run the course corresponding to their age class in 2010.

    For Regional events juniors will be expected to run the following 'colour coded' courses;

    • M14/W14 - Light Green
    • W16 - Green
    • M16 - Blue
    • W18 - Short Blue
    • M18 - Short Brown
    At the National Event Juniors should run their 2010 age class.
