I’d like to be considered for Areas

Once you have read and understood the eligibility requirements and can confirm that you are able to represent the Ludlows, there are a couple of things you need to do!

• Fill in the “interested in areas form” and send it to the relevant team managers
• In May, team managers will meet with instructors and discuss members that have put themselves forward and if successful you will be contacted.
• Keep a record of all of the competitions that you attend (in your chosen discipline) including results so that your team manager can be sure that you are able to compete at that level.
• MAKE SURE THAT YOU HAVE ATTENDED ENOUGH RALLIES TO BE INCLUDED! IF YOU ENTER AND HAVE NOT ATTENDED ENOUGH RALLIES YOUR TEAM MAY BE DISQUALIFIED
• Make sure you are available on the dates of the competitions and championships, in case of qualification.
