National Competition Framework
The BSOA has worked with British Orienteering to provide a complete programme of competition under the National Competition framework documents.


We recognise that many teachers lack personal orienteering experience. To enable them to introduce orienteering in a fun and exciting way it is recommended that training is undertaken, contact your Participation Manager regarding a one day practical training course which will cover all the requirements for the national competition framework up to year 7. A CDROM is also provided with this training which supports the competition framework.

There is another one day training course available covering year 8-11 competition.
