Karate BC athletes on the high performance track benefit from a carding program provided by CSI Pacific. At the end of July, KBC recommended 94 athletes and 29 coaches to CSI Pacific for carding based on their performances in the 2023-24 competition season. Carding runs for 12 months: from the beginning of August until the end of July.
Looking forward, Karate BC has updated its carding agreement with CSI Pacific for the 2024-25 competition season. The criteria for carding of athletes have been modified slightly, which will enable us to recommend some additional athletes for carding compared to previous years.
For full details on the 2024/25 carding criteria please see the full agreement between Karate BC and CSI Pacific. An Appendix has been added to the agreement to make it easier for athletes to see the criteria they need to meet for carding based on their competition level (Senior, U21, Junior, Cadet, Youth).
