Team Manager - Under 23s

The UKU Board will appoint a group of appropriate players/ex-players to review the applications.  Our goal is to appoint all positions as quickly as possible with a target date of end of Jan 2010.

Applicants are welcome to propose organising the management/captaincy and coaching of the squad in whatever structure they believe will produce the best result.  We do not necessarily assume that the “best result” means the highest possible finish at U23 World Championships. 

We are keen to make the most of the opportunity that the U23 division presents in terms of providing experience for players that have a good chance or playing for the Full squads in the future.  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. 

Proposed timeline:
FRI 15th JAN 2010.  Notifications of interest to admin@ukultimate.com
MON 25th JAN 2010.  Final deadline for full applications
MON 1st FEB 2010.  Decision announced
