IrishFreestyle

Are you often coming to freestyle competitions; not to enter but just for banter? We are looking for people that want a prime viewing spot, coffee and biscuits and travel expenses to do so! Yes I’m talking about judges!

The Irish Freestyle Committee is looking for people that are regularly spectators at freestyle competitions and want to know a little more about scoring and judging. We’re organising a judging training day in Clifden on Saturday the 22nd of March to learn about moves, about the score sheets and how to judge. The Irish Freestyle Team will be there to provide the moves, the Committee will be there to provide the biscuits and hopefully we will have a bit of banter on the bank.

Send us an e-mail if you’re interested. It will be a bit of craic!

The 2008 Intervarsities competition will take place at University of Limerick between 22nd - 24th February 2008. The competition will involve competitors from 19 different colleges around Ireland and will kick off with the polo competition on Friday night.
