How to Join World Class

World Class Performance
Membership of World Class Performance is based on past and present results, and the rider's perceived potential to contribute to team success at major championships. The squad is selected following discussions between the Discipline Selectors, Performance Managers and the Performance Director.

World Class Development (Start & Potential)
The World Class Development programme is lottery funded through UKSport and is designed to support talent identification and nurturing of that talent. It underpins the World Class Performance Programme which supports elite preparation and performance at senior international levels.

Have you got what it takes?

Riders who are aged between 14 and 30 (on first application) and who see themselves as having the exceptional talent and dedication to ride and win at Olympic level in 2012, 2016 and beyond have the opportunity to be assessed through a three stage process:

  • Stage 1: Application
  • Stage 2: Viewing Trials
  • Stage 3: Selection Trials


Applications for the 2008 World Class Development Programme are now closed.

You can view the selection policy here.

Further information is available from either the disciplines or from Debbie Lee, World Class Development Assistant, at the BEF on  02476 698876 , fax: 02476 696484
