COMPETITIONS
Once the athletes have qualified from the Area competitions they will compete at the National Individual Championships with the winning athletes in each age group and ability level awarded the prestigious National Champion title.
We also hold a UTE Open competition which attracts baton twirlers from across England and the rest of the World to compete to try and win the title of UTE Open Champion.
The 2 IBTF International Competitions this year will be held in Spain and Italy. United Twirl England athletes can enter the English Selections and the athletes will be chosen to represent England for both competitions.

We start our twirling year with our Area Qualifier competitions.
