National Youth Development

National Youth Development Training Dates

The National Youth Development Programme (NYDP) is an exciting new initiative from the English Karate Federation, designed to nurture and inspire the next generation of England athletes aged 11–13. Focused on building strong foundations in both Kata and Kumite, the programme provides high-quality, age-specific training that prepares young athletes for future success at national and international level. All NYDP training days for Kata and Kumite will take place on the same date, with sessions delivered at two separate venues to ensure dedicated, focused coaching in each discipline. This is the perfect pathway for ambitious young karateka to develop their skills, experience, and confidence while proudly working towards representing England.
