Talent Identification Testing Days
British Orienteering are pleased to be able to announce the dates and locations of their Talent Identification days which will provide the opportunity for athletes aged between 14 and 18 years old, and who are eligible for a UK passport, to showcase their talent and ability. No prior experience in orienteering is required as we are looking for raw sporting talent in athletes who have the capacity to develop under the guidance of British Orienteering's Performance Director and National Talent Manager. The testing days will take approximately four hours and during this time athletes will be put through a series of tests including a speed test, the bleep test and an orienteering specific test. The testing dates, venues and times are as follows:
Date Venue Time Tuesday 31st May 2011 Gryphon Sports Centre, University of Leeds, LS2 9LZ 1- 5 pm Wednesday 1st June 2011 Badminton Centre, Loughborough University, Leicestershire, LE11 3TU 1- 5 pm Thursday 2nd June 2011 Centre for Sport, University of the West of England, Frenchay Campus, Coldharbour Lane, Bristol, BS16 1QY 1- 5 pm Friday 3rd June 2011 Bracknell Leisure Centre, Bagshot Road, Bracknell, Berkshire, RG12 9SE 10 - 2 pm
Never before has this approach to identifying talent been employed by British Orienteering, so any athlete who thinks they have what it takes to become a World-Class Orienteer and is up for the challenge should sign up to the testing days by sending an email to performance@britishorienteering.org.uk with the following information by Monday 9 May 2011:
Name, Date of Birth, Contact email, Contact telephone number, Current Sport/s, Current success at regional level or above, Preferred venue for testing. Please ensure that you understand that the information collected may be made available as considered necessary to British Orienteering, the National Governing Body for Orienteering. British Orienteering looks forward to hearing from you.
