National Teams
The teams that represent the UK at ultimate are coordinated by UK Ultimate. These teams continue to play under the name "Great Britain Ultimate" (GB).
GB players continue to meet virtually all of the costs associated with playing for their country. The Junior squads normally receive a limited amount of direct funding from UKU.
We are very grateful to the companies and individuals that sponsor GB teams and/or individuals - their support makes a big difference to our players.
There are GB teams in all of the divisions that currently exist in international ultimate. The senior divisions are: Women, Open, Mixed, Masters; and the Junior divisions are: Women (U19, U17) and Open (U19, U17). As of 2010 WFDF announced the creation of a new Under-23 division, and the first World Championships in these divisions will happen during July 2010 in Florence, Italy. The U23 event will see teams in Open, Women and Mixed divisions.

For this reason we would like an indication from anyone considering putting themselves forward to run the senior squads in 2011-12, even if you do not want to apply for the U23 management role in 2010.

Organisation
UK Ultimate is responsible for selecting the leaders of the GB squads and reviewing their progress and results. Once appointed - the GB managers/captains are largely free to run their squads in the way they believe will deliver the best end results.
The cycle of competitions is such that the main "full" squads are not active during 2010.
There is a full GB Junior programme in place with teams competing at the WFDF World Junior Ultimate Championships and the European "Open" Under-17 Ultimate Championships 2010.
WFDF have also recently announced a World Championships in a new Under-23 division. The first event will take place in Florence, Italy in the week leading up to 25th July 2010.
