The following athletes are currently eligible for the 2024/25 GBJTS based on their performances and results in the 2024 season.
If athletes have not made the current standards to the squad but believe, based on their performances and results in the preceding year that they are of an appropriate performance standard, an athlete and their coach can contact the GBJTS steering group to outline why they should be included. Clear evidence of performance or performance potential are required.
Athletes who have made previous squads but have incurred an injury and have been unable to make standards for the following year can apply to the GBJTS steering group for special dispensation to be included in the squad.
Athletes who have achieved an international medal winning performance in other paddlesport disciplines and who are seeking to prioritise a sprint focus for the forthcoming year can also apply for squad consideration to the GBJTS Steering Group.
Please submit any requests via email to charlie.barwis@paddleuk.org.uk
Requests will be considered by the GBJTS Steering Group and will provide a response in a timely manner.
