British Wrestling announces the release of our Performance Programme and Major Championships Selection Policy.
Please find the link to the policy below, as well as a video overview of the policy’s key parts.
This policy will be used for selection to each of the GB Performance Pathway Squads, as well as selections for UWW World and European Championships at Senior, U23 and U20 levels.
This policy will remain available at all times on the Selection page of the British Wrestling website.
Policy Overview
The aim of the Performance Programme and Major Championships Selection Policy is to produce GBR wrestlers capable of winning honours at European, World and Olympic levels. In line with that aim, the Selection Policy has four core objectives:
- To maximise potential to qualify wrestlers for the 2024 Olympic Games
- To support and develop wrestlers who have potential to represent Great Britain at the 2028 and 2032 Olympic Games
- To create a benchmark for GB performance standards
- To ensure the selection process is clear and transparent
The policy sets out the selection criteria for the three Performance squads
- GB Development
- LA Potential
- Senior Elite
And the requirements for selection to UWW World and European Championships at Senior, U23 and U20 levels.
The requirements are based on a points system where points are acquired for results at different levels of qualifying competitions.
We encourage all athletes and coaches to watch the overview video and to read the policy in detail to ensure it is understood before making decisions about season planning and competition entries. If you have further questions regarding the policy please contact Performance Manager, Huw Griffiths.
