National team competition is back in 2022! We have waited several long years for national team competition to return to the U19 level in Europe, now it is here again. Qualification games for the U19 European Championship Games are expected to take place in July and August of this year. But several countries that will be participating in the European tournament this summer have already begun to host camps and mold their rosters.
On February 19th, 2022 the Swiss federation plans to host their next “National Combine Day”. This will be an open camp for all U19 athletes of Swiss nationality. That being said this camp will be combined with some athlete who have already made the national team and others have been previously invited to try out. The camp will be held at the national team facility, Sportanlage Zuchwill.
But due to current covid regulations only a fixed number of athletes will be allowed to participate in this camp. After the February camp, the Swiss federation plans to host 2 more camps in March and July in order to prepare for national team competition.
