2000/2001 Selection Criteria for Alberta Juniors

The criterion encourages commitment from the participating athletes to ensure that they acquire formal tactical and technical training. The point system is based on tournament results and counts as 60% of the criterion while each team trial results makes up the additional 40%.

The points are assigned as follows:

1. Competition

Player must participate in at least 3 of the 4 major ATTA Sanctioned Tournaments (see Calendar of Events), two (2) training camps (not including COP) and 2 team trails. Athletes will receive points as follows:

First place - 5 points
Second place - 4 points
Third place - 3 points
Fourth place - 2 points
Fifth place or more - 1 point

Note: A player who registers to participate in an event that is cancelled due to insufficient players shall receive 1 point.

2. Training

Attendance at training camps and two team trails is compulsory. All players must abide by the rules set forth by the Coach at the training sessions (see attached). Failure to abide by the rules may result in expulsion from the team for that season. Any absences should be arranged in advance with the Provincial Head Coach. The only exceptions to these rules are:

- Players selected to CTTA training/competition programs
- Illness (coach may request certification by a doctor)
- Players not living in the Calgary or Edmonton areas
- Special circumstances (i.e.: death in the family)

Should there be a dismissal of an athlete from the Junior Training program, the athlete has an opportunity to appeal the decision through the Appeals Committee that shall be appointed by the President, ATTA.
