Teams

E.P.S.C.A. runs the England Under 11 Team and the England Girls' Under 11 Team. The England Girls' Under 11 Team is selected by its manager, based on performances at major tournaments throughout the year.
There will be a selection tournament for the England Under 11 Team on Saturday 26th & Sunday 27th April 2008 at Liverpool College. There are two routes to an invitation to this selection tournament:
1. Each affiliated association may nominate their board one providing they were born between 1/9/96 and 31/8/98 (ie was aged 9 or 10 on 1/9/07.) If the board one is one of our preselected players (or too young) then board two may be nominated.
2. Players of the correct age may also qualify through good performances at two of the following tournaments (or an excellent performance at one). Good usually means over 50%, excellent means a top two finish. Even if a player is going to be nominated we would strongly recommend that they play in at least two of these tournaments.
Please note that if an association's board one qualifies through the tournament system that association DOES NOT get another nomination.
