Hello Club Members.
USLA informed us there has been a terrific change to their policy statement that
will
postively impact our club youth sliders. The club board will see to it that we
provide the
opportunities for our youth sliders that the new policy provides. See the
following from
Ron Rossi.

Please replace any older versions of the policy statement - Senior
Select Team Candidates, Junior Team Candidates, Junior Development Team
Selection Process - with the attached version.

It was updated at the last meeting of the NTC to reflect the following:

1) That a certain limited number of junior and youth age club athletes
not previously selected to a team, but who finished in the top half of
the final seeding race point results for their age level, may train with
an appropriate age and skill level team during the summer for further
evaluation (See Section VII of the policy).

2) To move the team selection date to May 1 instead of April 1 to
reflect the longer on-ice season we are now experiencing (FYI - other
policies with an April 1 date will also be updated in the future, but
not for the sake of only a date change. To lessen the administrative
burden , these policies will only be formally updated when some other
change also needs to be considered).

As always, please let me know if you have any questions.
