The British Gliding Team are now inviting applications for the Junior Development Squad 2026-2027. Applications will be reviewed by a panel of British Team Coaches who are on the lookout for next generation of World Champions.

Successful applicants will have the opportunity to take part in a structured training programme, including national and overseas training camps with experienced members of the British Gliding Team. This is your opportunity to take your flying to the next level and to be selected to represent Great Britain at future international competitions.

We welcome applications from a wide range of experience levels. Applicants must be no older than 25 by the end of 2027 and we recommend that applicants should have flown at least one competition.

The deadline for applications is midnight 12th October 2026. We expect to announce the Squad & team for the 2027 Junior Europeans by early November. We wish you the best of luck!
