  • 2019 PAN AMERICAN GAMES & WBSC AMERICAS OLYMPIC QUALIFIER (Revised October 24, 2018) 2019 WOMEN's NATIONAL TEAM SELECTION
    2019 PAN AMERICAN GAMES & WBSC AMERICAS OLYMPIC QUALIFIER (Revised October 24, 2018) 2019 WOMEN’S NATIONAL TEAM SELECTION PROCESS SECTION 1 – PURPOSE The 2019 Women’s National Team Program will compete in the 2019 Pan American Games and WBSC Americas Olympic Qualifier. The purpose of this document is to set out the process that will be used by Softball Canada to select athletes to both teams in 2019. This process will also be used to identify athletes eligible to be nominated for 2019-2020 carding (Athlete Assistance Program). This selection process has three objectives: 1. Select eligible athletes to an Athlete Pool. Athletes in the Pool are those identified by Softball Canada as having demonstrated potential to earn a position on a current or future national team. At any given time, the Athlete Pool represents a ‘snapshot’ of Canadian talent in women’s softball. 2. From the Pool, select the best possible Teams for specific events. While some objective criteria will be used to select Teams, it is also recognized that there is a significant subjective element. Subjective elements include such factors as previous and current performance, experience, positional requirements, leadership qualities and team cohesion. 3. This selection process also forms the basis for nomination of athletes for Sport Canada’s Athlete Assistance Program (carding). Contact: For clarifications or questions on the contents of the Internal Nomination Process (INP), please contact Mark Smith, Head Coach, [email protected]. SECTION 2 – ELIGIBILITY An athlete is eligible for selection to the Athlete Pool so long as they are: (1) in good standing with Softball Canada, and (2) a Canadian Citizen holding a Canadian passport, a person eligible for Canadian Citizenship who is actively pursuing Citizenship, or a person with a Canadian Citizenship card.

  • 2018 Arctic Winter Games
    2020 ARCTIC WINTER GAMES MISSION STAFF APPLICATION PACKAGE The Arctic Winter Games (AWG) are an international multi-sport and cultural event that will bring together 1,500 athletes from the Northwest Territories (NWT), Yukon, Nunavut, Alaska, Greenland, Russia, Nunavik, Northern Alberta and the Indigenous people of Norway and Finland (Sápmi). The concept of the AWG was developed as a direct result of the experiences of Northern athletes at the 1967 Canada Winter Games. Representatives of the Yukon and NWT realized that their teams were at a disadvantage due to relatively small athletic pools, lack of facilities and infrequent training opportunities. Therefore, the concept of an event specifically designed for Northern athletes was born. The first Games were staged in 1970 in Yellowknife, NWT, and have taken place every two years since, alternating between participating jurisdictions. The 2020 are the 50th anniversary of the Games and are going to be held back in Whitehorse Yukon from March 15-21, 2020. Team Yukon is seeking enthusiastic, dedicated and experienced sport volunteers. Mission Staff play a key role in the success of a well-managed team. Team Yukon is preparing to have a group of representatives who will operate under the direction of the Chef de Mission, and will be assigned to work with, and disseminate information to a designated sport(s) before and during the Games. Mission Staff must possess strong communication and administration skills and be able to work within a fast-paced environment. Mission Staff must possess a balance of the technical understanding and competency in a particular sport with the ability to communicate and engage youth.

    LIFE UNIVERSITY ALUMNI HARLEY WHEELER AND CODY MELPHY TO REPRESENT U.S.A. AT 2019 PAN AMERICAN GAMES Via: Life University Athletics Billy Mangum, Sports Information Director 678-910-3555 Chula Vista, California, June 28, 2019 – USA Rugby announced the 12 players selected to the 2019 U.S. Pan American Games Men's Sevens team earlier in the week, with Life University alumni Harley Wheeler (2019) and Cody Melphy (2017) both being chosen for the squad. Wheeler will be making his national team debut, while Melphy is already a senior player and will serve as captain. Both Wheeler and Melphy were two-time All-Americans at Life University. This past year, Wheeler received the RudyScholz award as the best collegiate player in the country, and Melphy is currently a member of the USA Sevens Residency Program. "This is a well-deserved honor for Harley who has put in so much effort and performed consistently very well at every level he has played thus far," Life University Men's Rugby Head Coach Colton Cariaga stated. "Cody has cemented himself as an integral team member within the USA 7s program, and though we know he's only scratched the surface of his goals, we are delighted to see him earn yet another international opportunity to compete and grow further." The games will take place in Lima, Peru from July 26 to August 11. The PanAm Games come after a remarkably successful season where the USA men qualified for the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games, reached a No. 2 world ranking and won seven tournament medals.
