Selection Criteria
Ski Jumping Canada Teams 2005/06
Ski Jumping Canada and the SJ/NC National Training Centre have created selection criteria, which will serve as a basis on which all Canadian athletes are evaluated for consideration to be selected to the National Teams for each season. All athletes who meet the selection criteria for each season will be evaluated and recommended to the National Teams subject to Ski Jumping Canada and the SJ/NC National Training Centre Budget.
The selection criteria are intended as a guideline for use of evaluating athletes. Each athlete is evaluated on as objective a basis as is possible while taking into consideration the SJ/NC National Training Centre Staff recommendations. The National Teams are named each year in May and are based on the previous season’s results.
In order to maintain team status athletes must show reasonable progress as outlined in the Ski Jumping Canada Performance Targets, Athlete Report Cards and Key Performance Indicators.
