The UTA will host its invitational Championships on the 11th May 2024.The competition is for all UTA students from Little Dragons to seniors. This is to be held at Highfield School, Highfield, Letchworth.

This is a great opportunity to test your skills in a friendly competition with fellow UTA members helping to raise much-needed funds. We have many International competitors some of whom started as a Little Dragon and some are already national and international champions. One day you/your child might be in the same position.

The UTA take pride in funding its competitors through a selection process and events like these help that funding and enable us to offer this great gift.

All Spectators are free for this event
