Team GB
Represent Team GB
Representing Team GB at tennikoit is a major honour and one that many players aspire to. Wearing the national jersey on the international stage is a highlight of many players’ careers, and selection is a recognition of talent, dedication, and potential.
As the national governing body, Tennikoit GB oversees Team GB. Selection for all international events, including the World Championships, is made solely by the National Coach.
Eligibility
To be considered for Team GB, you must meet at least one of the following criteria:
– You were born in England, Scotland, or Wales
– One or both of your parents were born in England, Scotland, or Wales
– You have lived in Great Britain for at least one year and continue to do so
If you are selected to represent Team GB, you will be asked to provide evidence that you meet one of these conditions.
World Championships
The Tennikoit World Championships are the pinnacle of the sport, where the best players from across the globe compete for national glory.
Selection for Team GB at the World Championships is by invitation from the National Coach and is on an event-by-event basis. The National Coach may use trial sessions, training camps, and ongoing performance monitoring to identify players with the ability and readiness to compete at the highest level.
If you would like to be considered, please contact us for details of upcoming trial sessions and development opportunities.
Other International Events
Beyond the World Championships, Team GB also competes at a range of international tournaments, including national championships hosted abroad and open events.
Selection for these events is also made solely by the National Coach. These competitions are sometimes used to give talented or promising players valuable international experience, and at other times to prepare the squad for major tournaments.
The coach may consult with Tennikoit GB staff, but final selection decisions always rest with them. Like for World Championships, the National Coach may use trial sessions, training camps, and ongoing performance monitoring to identify players to select.
