NCTA Announces the 2021 Summer World University Games Team Selection Process

The 2021 Summer World University Games are to be held on August 17-27, 2021 in Chengdu, China. The organizing committee of the Games and FISU state that the completion of the Athletes’ Village and competition venues is on schedule. While there are many uncertainties in the future progress of the global pandemic, as well as potential travel restrictions, the NCTA will proceed with naming a 2021 National Collegiate Taekwondo Team that will travel to the Games should the event be held.

The NCTA will choose a poomsae team via remote team trial in late April or early May.  Recognized poomsae will be contested via live zoom, and freestyle poomsae will be contested via video submission. Dates and details for these events will be announced shortly.

The NCTA has deemed a national, in-person team trials unfeasible before the team roster submission deadline. A sparring team will therefore be named based on an application process utilizing several criteria: World Taekwondo ranking, past major event performance (including the NCTA Championships), ability to make within 5% of weight class being applied to (at time of application), and a remote workout/video proof of current active training condition at the time of application. Dates and details of this application process will be announced this month.

All applicants must also state their willingness to travel to China for the Games and to comply with all state and national travel restrictions.
