Organisation

The British Junior Women’s squads are managed and coached by a team of trained and dedicated volunteers.

We’d like to say a BIG thanks to everybody who puts time and effort into making junior women’s ultimate a success in Britain. Thanks to the coaches, teachers and parents who give up their time for the players.


In addition, a special thank you goes to Cath Moore and Kev Lowe.


Cath Moore...

Cath founded the first junior womens team back in 2003 and has now gone on to win her own medals playing for the GB mixed team this summer.

Kev has supported the junior divisions through their infancy for over ten years, and continues to offer us guidance and support as we grow from strength to strength.


Child Protection

All British Junior Women’s Coaches, players and events operate under our own Risk management & Child Protection Policy, built from our parent document “UKUA Child Protection Policy - August 2006.”  GBJW is committed to procedures and philosophies which have been developed to protect children and young people, and which also protect adult members of the project from misunderstandings and false accusations of abuse. 

Our policies and documents are made available for all to see as accessibly as possible. If you are unable to open the GBJW Child Protection policy attached to this page, please contact Gemma and she will email / post you a copy.
