Taekwondo New Zealand (TNZ) extends an invitation to all WTF style athletes to participate in the New Zealand Selection Trial Tournament being held in New Plymouth on the 1st April 2006, for the purpose of selecting a New Zealand representative team to attend the World Taekwondo Federation (WTF) Junior World Championships being held in Ho Chi Min City, Vietnam, from 26th – 30th July 2006.

An electronic copy of the information pack, entry forms, selection policy and criteria is outlined on the TNZ website: – www.TaekwondoNZ.org.nz

This will be the primary event for selection and is open to all athletes from WTF style organisations in New Zealand who meet the following eligibility criteria;
