Cost
Athletes will be charged according to the number of tournaments they attend. Costs may vary per individual based on tournament costs. Usual tournament fee is roughly $5/ athlete. The school division will cover all registration, transportation, or accommodation costs for Provincials if travel requires it.
Qualifying for Provincials
Teams need to place within the top 2 at the Zone Finals to qualify for Provincials. The other way would be through a wild card placement, that would need to be submitted by a coach and looks at the team's entire record over the year. Provincials this year will be held in Winnipeg (May 1-3rd).
Transportation
Competing athletes are expected to arrive and depart with the school team, not in their own vehicles. Students driving each other is NOT ALLOWED (Division Policy). Any student leaving an event with their parents, must inform their coach/ or school teacher chaperone prior to their departure.
Missed Class Time
Students are expected to communicate their sport related absences to each of their classroom teachers. They must make arrangements with each teacher regarding how they will make up missed classwork. Coaches or the Athletic Director will email teachers, the team list of what athletes to expect to be excused during their class.
