Tennis Saskatchewan Provincial Junior Team Policies

Eligibility for Junior National Competition, Canada Games, Western Canada Summer Games and/or other major games / competitions will be based on the following criteria:

1. All athletes must maintain a permanent residence in the province of Saskatchewan as evidenced by a valid Saskatchewan Health Services Card. Students attending school out of province are eligible to participate, however they must still meet the above mentioned residence criteria.
2. All athletes must be in good standing with Tennis Saskatchewan (i.e. financial, discipline, etc.)
3. All athletes must participate in a minimum of six tournaments "Sanctioned" by a Provincial, State, and/or National Tennis Association, provided two of these tournaments are Saskatchewan Sanctioned Junior Open Tournaments (the Provincial Junior "Outdoor" Open will count as two tournaments), within the 12 month period immediately preceding the date of the applicable qualifying event.
4. All athletes must attend all training camps and competitive trips/events prior to major competitions (i.e. Canada / Western Canada Summer Games). All athletes will be notified of all mandatory camps and competitive trips/events prior to the first camp or trip/event.*

• Athletes training out of province (i.e. attending school out of province) must attend training camps and competitive trips/events when possible. When attending training camps / competitive trips/events are not possible, athletes must provide the following documentation to Tennis Saskatchewan prior to appropriate registration deadline dates:
• Letter from Program / School Head Coach indicating that athlete is actively training and competing at an appropriate level.
• Participate in and complete an appropriate "Tennis Saskatchewan Training Journal" (i.e. Canada Summer Games Journal) outlining individual training program.

The Tennis Saskatchewan Sask First (High Performance) Committee reserves the right to award a merit spot in extraordinary circumstances to a player who has not qualified through the normal qualifying process. A player will only be granted a merit spot when the Sask First Committee, in its sole discretion, is satisfied that the player's history demonstrates that he/she would otherwise make the provincial team and the circumstances justify that player excused from normal qualifying procedures.

Appeals, based on extenuating circumstances, must be received in writing, on or before appropriate registration date.
