The European Championships Beach Ultimate 2013 will be held at Calafell Beach (Tarragona, Spain) from the 27th to the 30th of June 2013.
We are creating a team to win Gold at the tournament. Players with the commitment and dedication to be part of this journey are welcome to complete the application form available at: <http://www.ukultimate.com/national_teams/gb_beach_ultimate/gb_beach_2013_open> Selection A trial squad of approximately 30 will be selected from the paper applications. On selection, the trial squad will be provided with a strength and conditioning program and an abbreviated playbook to familiarise themselves with ahead of the selection weekends. A selection weekend will take place on 13/14 October. Saturday will be on grass in London, comprising fitness tests, technical drills and games. Triallists will then travel to Bournemouth (TBC) for the beach element of the trial on Sunday which will primarily be playing 5on5 Ultimate. A second trial will be used to finalise the training squad on 3/4 November. The trials will facilitate the selection of a training squad of approximately 18 that will work as one team until final selection is made, and will facilitate the management of any dropouts due to injury, loss of form, other commitments etc. An essential part of the preparation will be for the training squad to play at Paganello in 2013. The tournament will also be used to select the final team for ECBU.
