England Under 21s

The England under-21 programme are situated within our UK Sport Funded Elite Development Programme (EDP).

We don’t compete formally as Great Britain below Senior level so, as England is the Nominated Country in the GB Framework Agreement, the England under 21 programme is embedded within the EDP. 

Since the start of 2024 the delivery model for the women’s programme consists of distinct GB and England components while the men’s programme runs as a more integrated GB and England model

The GB EDP & England U21 selection policy can be found here
