It wouldn't work here because the players get paid by their clubs, to give them incentive to play you would have to pay them and where is this money going to come from? Also this GB U20 team would have to be based somewhere and lots of players wouldn't want to move away from home due to work or education commitments, there's not a realistic career in the sport for a lot of them so they're not going to give that up.

Very true but maybe it could be more viable to have it tied in with the best Sports University?
