National Teams

It is the policy of the Association to send teams to international events, in order that athletes develop and gain experience of traveling and competing against good quality athletes from other Countries.

England teams are selected for the senior age group and the IAAF Under 20/Junior age groups for both men and women. No athlete who is under the age of 16 on the day of departure for International Competition outside of the UK will be selected and if under 18 will be required to complete a parental consent form.

NB
Unfortunately the 2008 FRA Hand Book was published prior to the finalisation of selection criteria & hence is inaccurate.
