England Athletics will select a team of of U23s, U20s and U18s throws athletes - up to 20 athletes with maximum of 3 male and 3 female athletes per event, per age group.

To maximise the opportunity for athletes to learn about championship competition, they will have the chance to compete on Saturday in a simulated qualification competition with a maximum of 3 throws and again on Sunday in a simulated final with a maximum of 6 throws.

Head of Coaching and Athlete Development Martin Rush said,

"The ETC Throws Festival is a great concept and opportunity to support the competitive development of throws athletes.  England Athletics is keen to support initiatives which meet the needs of athletes as they progress through their athletics careers and promoting representative opportunities is a key part of England’s commitment to developing athletes and coaches.  I wish all the selected athletes, their coaches and the event organisers a successful weekend."
