Herts TKD Team Competition - 11th June 2011 (Colney Heath)

Preparations are well underway for our second Herts TKD Team Competition. Last year proved a great success and we are pleased that we are able to organise another competition this year.

If you haven't entered a Team Competition, don't worry. This is an excellent opportunity to enter a smaller Team competition before trying one of the larger one's available to enter.

For the majority, the event will consist of Patterns. Each team will consist of 3-4 members.

For the more experienced, Pre-Arranged Sparring is also an option. Each team will consist of 2 members.

The main event will be for the 'A' teams from Spirit TKD and Colney Heath TKD. Each team will consist of 5 competitors. Pattern and Sparring events will be organised and different competitors maybe selected for either event.

Cost: £8/event or £20 for 3 events

For further details, please contact your instructor.

Good Luck, and we look forward to seeing you.
