Due to the prolonged inactivity, our selectors for the National Team are unable to use recent performances in tournaments to select a Squad.
We have therefore resolved to request the Provincial Chairpersons and Technical Directors to submit names of two male athletes and two female athletes from each province to the National Technical Director so that we come up with the Squad.
We shall rely on your fairness and integrity for this exercise as you know which athletes are training individually in your provinces. Please take note that this is for the World Championships, if you do not have athletes that match reasonable standards, it’s okay not to submit.
Please may you work with all your Style heads in your provinces as you do this exercise.
We would appreciate if the names can be forwarded to the TD by the 17th of August.
We have engaged the SRC to bw allowed to prepare for the Dubai Championships.”
