Results from the Youth Development Jumping Squad selection series

Nicola Turner, EFA National Office, Wednesday, 10 December 2008

Results from the National selection series have been tabulated.

As part of the selection process for the National Youth Development Squad a two competition selection series was conducted in each State between 01 July and 20 December 2008.  The riders have been ranked according to their performance and the leading twelve riders are listed below.

In principle, the National Young Rider Jumping Squad will comprise up to 20 riders; however, this may vary from time to time. The squad will be selected based on general and competition criteria as below.

It is intended the selection of the Squad will comprise of:

          The current Australian Young Rider Champion

          Eligible Young Riders selected on the National Senior Squad

          Up to 12 riders selected under the Competition Criteria

          6 riders selected under the General Criteria (see below).

General Criteria

Given that at any stage of the competition criteria riders may for any reason not be able to participate, each State may nominate an additional rider for consideration by the National Jumping Selection Panel.

It is intended that the respective State Jumping Selection Panels will nominate an eligible rider it considers a worthy member of the Squad.

Members of this squad are, in principle, talented individuals who are identified as riders who produce consistent levels of performance and achievements in Jumping classes of 1.30m and better.  The development of these riders will ensure they are able to move to senior competition with a professional and guided background.
