We’re delighted to announce that nominations for our international squads and junior development days across 2026 are now open.
The first event for 2026 is our Junior Development Day, taking place on Sunday 10 May and being held at eight venues across the country. This day is a key part of the Junior Pathway Programme, where talented juniors from across the country have the opportunity to play in front of our Performance Team, get insights and help to develop their game.
Later in the year we have our Para, Senior and Under-18 assessment days on Sunday 7 June, with the Under-25 assessment on Sunday 5 July. These days are crucial in assessing players eligible for the England team, ensuring we continue the trajectory or our international success.
To submit a nomination, please complete the relevant form below in as much detail as possible. If any player wishes to be considered for more than one team (i.e. Under-18 and Under-25), please complete all relevant forms.
