Personal information forms are recorded as received on the BBG website and your school representative has sight of this acknowledgement. Those who are at an 'other' school will be informed directly once we receive your form.
Please read the instructions under the 'personal information form' page to avoid any unnecessary errors with signing and returning your form.
Reselection trials
Year 10:
- This year group will trial on Sunday 15 March. Where you are successful, you will rejoin the programme on the 2nd week after the Easter holidays i.e. w/c 20 April
- Please be sure you can make the necessary commitment to the programme and have full availability for the Championships
- Any questions, speak to your school reperesentative initially.
Year 11 and above (including 'Year 14'):
- These year groups will trial on the weekend of 3 and 4 May 2026; with schools being advised closer to the time which day / session they should attend
- At this time you will also be asked to confirm your availability for the Qualifying and Championships period
- If you are amongst the older year groups and are considering employment at the Championships, remember it is always good to keep your options open. Complete the online modules and application just in case, and you can always withdraw at a later date should you wish to
- Please ensure you are available for the Championships, as otherwise this compromises your reselection, though that is clearly initially determined by your performance on the day
- If you are unavailable for large parts of the Championships, regardless of whether this is week 1 or week 2, then you should not reapply, as we will not give a place to someone whose availability is this compromised
- If you are successful at this trial, you get an automatic acceptance to the Championships. Remember, there are no guarantees for anyone, we can only mark what we see at this session.
